About Pircher:
The distillery’s roots date back to 1884, when monks from the Order of the Teutonic Knights in Lana, South Tyrol began producing fruit spirits using traditional methods. This knowledge and these artisanal techniques form the foundation of the brand’s philosophy today.
In the mid-20th century, the historic monastery distillery passed into the hands of the Pircher family, marking an important milestone not only for the company itself but also for the entire region of South Tyrol. The combination of local tradition, entrepreneurial spirit, and a focus on quality led to the brand’s extraordinary growth.
