Distilled from rigorously selected alpine herbs, the 1976 Alpestre delivers an intense and complex bouquet to the palate. Notes of aromatic herbs blend with balsamic and spicy accents, evoking the freshness of the mountains from which they originate. The production method, jealously guarded by the distillery, utilizes traditional techniques that ensure the fullest expression of the herbs used.
The color of the Alpestre is a deep amber, indicative of long aging in barrels that contribute to its oily and rich structure. On the palate, its velvety consistency wraps the taste in a prolonged embrace, leaving a persistent, warm, and enveloping aftertaste.
The 1976 is a true collector's vintage. Each bottle is sealed and presented in an elegant wooden case that not only protects the liquor but also makes it a precious item for every enthusiast or collector. Alpestre Riserva Speciale is more than a distillate; it is a time capsule that carries with it the flavor and history of a generation.
Ideal to serve as a digestif after a significant dinner or to be enjoyed alone for meditation, savoring each sip slowly, the Alpestre Riserva Speciale 1976 offers an experience that goes beyond mere taste pleasure, transforming into a sensory journey rich in history and tradition.
