Pelinkovac (wormwood-based liqueur) Epulon of the Rossi family pays homage to Epulon, Istria’s legendary king. His fight for freedom against the all-powerful Roman Empire is reflected in the fight between the sweet and bitter taste of this elegant liqueur.

The nose is dominated by wormwood, followed by vanilla, caramel, and citrus notes. The hard bitterness of wormwood is finely balanced with soothing notes of citrus fruits, anise, vanilla, and caramel. It finishes with an intriguingly unresolved, sweet-bitter, and long-lasting aftertaste.

Alcohol: 30% ABV

Serving recommendation: as a digestive, chilled without ice, or with ice, orange peel or lemon peel

Optimal serving temperature: 8-10°C

The Rossi family produces wines from their own grapes, which are grown on over 12 hectares of modernly arranged and carefully nurtured high-quality vineyards. The vineyards are located in nine locations near the village of Bajkini. This terroir is specific, due to the all four types of soil present in a very narrow area: red, gray, black and white. Each soil gives a distinctive note to a particular variety of wine that grows from it, and in addition, different soils compensate for the weather conditions. Within the Rossi family, they pass the skill of working with vines down from generation to generation. The annual wine production of the Rossi family is about 100,000 liters. About four-fifths of that quantity is sold on the domestic market, and as the quality of products is increasingly recognized and sought after, export quantities are constantly growing as well. The special, almost loving attitude of the Rossi family winemakers towards the traditional, autochthonous Istrian varieties makes their products especially interesting. The Rossi family offers traditional Istrian wines Istrian Malvasia, Muscat Yellow, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Rose. In addition to wine, the Rossi family also produces distilled drinks and brandy. The base from which they are made is completely natural and is based exclusively on the drop which is a by-product of their own wine production. The Rossi family brandies are uncompromising brandies of high quality and winners of multipe awards.
