This would better be in the house dictionary, but if vinjak and loza can have articles, so can this.
The expression crossed my mind in 2015. That's when it first happened that we had some amount of fruit to distill, but none of any was enough to do separately, so we rather put them all together. The regular expression would be mixed rakija, but when one says it so, it sounds as if there were brandies which were then mixed, so this is better. The tutifruti is a rakija of mixed fruit, when we produce it.
There's also a subvariant, which we named papazjanija (which is actually a dish which I never tried, but generally means an incredible mix of incongruous ingredients, which may be awful or great, most often awful). We made some 4-5 liters of that between 2021 and 2023, and differs from the regular in one key ingredient. That happens when we don't have enough fruit for a whole batch, so we throw some old pekmez into the mush. This somehow made a rakija which is somehow crazier than it would normally be, can't explain how.
If wine connoisseurs may guess, by taste, the type of grape and even the vintage (and, in Gemenc, not just on which hill it grew, but also on which slope, if it's bullshitting then do it thoroughly), in tutifruti one can more or less guess the time of year when it was made, by the fruit it contains. If it's cherries/cherries, june. Plums, apples, apricots, july. Apples, pears, august. Though there's other fruit too, to a smaller extent, including grapes, blackberries, figs, and them white vineyard peaches, even sometimes strawberries.
