ALPESTRE, the pure herb distillate has an ancient history. It was created in 1857 by Friar Emanuel a Marist priest to cure his sick brethren, in fact, to this day, it is still made with a secret recipe.

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.

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.

Scientia Officinalis
ALPESTRE is a hydroalcoholic distillate of medicinal herbs and plants. It is febrifugal, digestive, tonic, refreshing, antiseptic and naturally aromatic. It is prepared according to a secret recipe so that all the active principles of the plants are extracted completely and unaltered.

Today, as was back in the day, expert herbalists cultivate the 34 aromatic and medicinal herbs until they are perfectly mature.

After the careful harvest and expert dosage, the 34 herbs are first left to macerate and then accurately distilled.

To make the beneficial aromatic properties of the plants concentrate in the liquor, ALPESTRE is left to age for at least 10 years in traditional Slavonia oak barrels.

ALPESTRE is then bottled as pure as it comes out of the barrel, without sugar or additives.
