Argalà Gin al Genepy 500ml
REGION: Piemonte, IT | ABV: 45%
An amazing gin from the Alps. Beyond juniper the focus is on the gentle aromas of genepy, an alpine herb, then elderberries, pine needles, acacia flowers, vanilla, apricot kernels, coriander seeds and caraway seeds and some cubeb berries.
Argalà, in the dialect of this area of Piemonte, means satisfied: not an ordinary satisfaction, though, but almost a peace of mind.
Enrico and Piero are two childhood friends who in 2011 started the first Italian artisanal Pastis. The first liqueur laboratory consisted of two renovated rooms in the old grandparents’ house; in 2015 they moved to the new premises, a converted barn in Boves, in the middle of the countryside at the foot of the Maritime Alps. Moreover, in 2018 they also start cultivating the herbs and plants needed for their liqueurs in the fields near the distillery, in addition to the foraged herbs.
Everything is about raw materials: first quality wheat distillate, water from the Maritime Alps, local herbs and plants, selected spices and sugars. No shortcuts such as flavourings, colourings, essences and stabilisers.
