Distillato di mele trentino

Recognized since 1989, Distillato di mele trentino is an established EU geographic indication for apple spirits within the Trentino-South Tyrol region. While its delimited production zone officially covers 166 municipalities—including Ala and Albiano—this denomination occupies an entirely unique, dormant status compared to neighboring distillates. Despite its decades-long legal standing, the spirit currently registers zero verified producers actively bottling under the protected designation. This complete absence of active operators distinguishes it as a preserved legal blueprint rather than an active commercial spirit, waiting for local distillers to revive the official name within its designated alpine borders.
