Production of Brana’s Corsican Citron Eau-de-vie

Production

Picked straight from the tree, the citrons are transported to the distillery in a refrigerated lorry to preserve all their aromas. Upon arrival, the citrons are cut by hand and then left to macerate. One of the secrets lies in the maceration process and the choice of alcohol used for this. Regular tastings of this maceration mixture help to determine the right moment to begin distillation.

Ageing

The citron brandy is aged in stainless steel vats to preserve all the fruit’s freshness. The development of the esters is monitored periodically until the optimum moment of maturity for bottling.
