Rossi Biska is a premium Istrian spirit, crafted using a traditional method passed down through five generations of the Rossi family. The story begins with Federico Rossi, who, many years ago, purchased land on a beautiful hill above the Mirna River. Today, the Rossi family remains passionately dedicated to winemaking, combining time-honored techniques with modern practices to produce exceptional spirits.
This distinctive brandy is made from the pomace of Istrian Malvazija, one of the region’s most renowned grape varieties. The pomace undergoes a four-time distillation process, ensuring a high-quality base with exceptional clarity and strength. What sets Rossi Biska apart, however, is the addition of mistletoe (Viscum album) leaves, which are macerated in the brandy to impart a unique flavor profile. The result is a spirit that perfectly balances tradition with innovation.
The deep caramel color of Rossi Biska immediately captures the eye, while its rich, complex aroma draws you in. Notes of honey, chocolate-coated sour cherries, and herbal, grassy undertones create a symphony of scents that are both intriguing and inviting. On the palate, the brandy is slightly sweet, yet elegant and warm, with a gentle, rounded finish that leaves a lasting impression.
Best served at a temperature of 10-12°C, Rossi Biska should be enjoyed neat and chilled, without ice. Its smooth, refined taste makes it ideal for pairing with a variety of foods, particularly aged cheeses and red meats. For those who enjoy a luxurious experience, it also pairs beautifully with premium cigars when served at room temperature. Whether savored on its own or with a complementing dish, Rossi Biska offers a unique taste of Istrian heritage in every sip.
