It has a pleasant and perfumed taste of herbs. It is an absolutely natural and precious distillate that is best appreciated by sipping it, in small doses, from a glass that will enhance its olfactory and aromatic qualities and infuse all the beneficial virtues of purely distilled fresh herbs. Alpestre is an excellent digestive. It can be drank straight after a good meal, even warmed and is magnificent in coffee. Thanks to its relaxing properties, we advise it be drank lying down with water and honey, like a herbal tea in the evening before going to bed.
Production method
It is the pure distillate of 34 medicinal aromatic, digestive, tonic, refreshing, antiseptic herbs among which there are thyme, absinthe, lavender, angelica, fennel, tansy, sage, mint, balm, hyssop, lemon balm and camomile.
Expert herbalists cultivate the herbs in the fields next to the distillery until they are perfectly mature. The distillate is made with a secret method ever since 1857 so that all the active principles of the plants are extracted completely and unaltered.
Alpestre is then left to age for a long time in Slavonia oak barrels, placed in the large cellars in Carmagnola, and then finally bottled, as pure as it comes out of the barrel, without sugar, colouring or other additives.
