Stara Pesma

“Stara Pesma”- ( Old Song )

On the hills and slopes of the Povlena and Tara mountains

The Bajinobaštan fruit growing region, located on the hills and slopes of the Povlen and Tara mountains, has exceptional natural advantages for the production of quality fruit. The moderately continental climate with large differences in day and night temperatures has a beneficial effect on the aroma of the fruit.

Many centuries ago, in one of the most beautiful villages, the village of Pepelj, located on the slopes of the mountain beauty of Tara, the Ilići came. They quickly saw the natural advantages of growing fruit. The specific climate – the southern slopes, which are selflessly caressed by the sun’s rays all day long, produced fruit that contained large amounts of sugar, and the proximity of the forest gave it a specific aroma. The cold water of the spring called Zmajeva voda gave a special freshness to the fruit trees, so their fruits were larger and sweeter than others. From such fruits, the old masters made a drink that they served only on rare occasions and to selected guests. Barrels made of hundred-year-old oaks gave it perfect noise.

Generations of descendants continued the tradition of raising orchards, making barrels and roasting brandy. On the same slopes, descendants plant fruit and make brandy to this day. Brandy as brandy – almost the same, yet different, so it was always said that Ilića brandy is more drinkable, more singing and more aromatic than others.

Generations worked hard, enjoyed life with drink and song, and that’s how “Stara pesma” brandy was born, to the joy and pride of current and future generations.
