Argalà Pastis 700ml
REGION: Piemonte, IT | ABV: 45%
A very unique pastis. Star anise and liquorice + wild fennel, thyme, lemon balm and rosemary picked from the surrounding hills + other spices, including cardamon, cinnamon and Himalayan long pepper for complexity. Serving suggestions: As an aperitif - over ice with one part Pastis and five parts water. As a digestive - straight or on the rocks
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.
