The Alpestre Pure Herb Distillate 70cl is an acclaimed expression of the artisan craftsmanship of the San Giuseppe Distillery, located in the idyllic mountainous region of Piedmont, Italy. This refined spirit is the result of an ancient recipe passed down from generation to generation, based on the infusion and distillation of a selection of 34 alpine herbs, hand-picked in the pristine heights surrounding the distillery.

Upon tasting, the Pure Herb Distillate offers a complex and intensely fragrant aromatic bouquet, where notes of gentian, chamomile, and mint can be identified, balanced by more delicate nuances of lavender and thyme. This spirit is distinguished by its vibrant and slightly bitter taste, characteristic of alpine herbs, making it immediately recognizable on the palate.

With a clear and transparent color, this distillate presents a visual purity that reflects the quality of the ingredients and the meticulousness of the production process. Alpestre Pure is ideal to be sipped neat as a digestive at the end of a meal or can be used as a refined base for the preparation of aromatic and innovative cocktails.

Perfect as a gift for enthusiasts of exclusive spirits or as a sophisticated addition to a collection, Alpestre Pure Herb Distillate embodies the excellence of Italian distilling traditions, offering a unique and distinctive sensory experience. The San Giuseppe Distillery thus continues to celebrate the botanical richness of the Alps with a spirit that is both a tribute to the territory and a celebration for the senses.
