Alpestre - Herbal liqueur
Alpestre was born many years ago in 1857 when the monk called Marista mixed 34 aromatic herbs and extracted an excellent liqueur.
The first name attributed to the liqueur was “Arquebuse de l'Hermitage”, since it was used as a remedy for wounded French soldiers in colonies.
At the beginning of 1900 the monks transferred to Carmagnola, near the city of Turin, this way carrying away the secret liqueur recipe with them. In the long run the liqueur name was transformed into Alpestre.
Today 34 herbs are still being grown and picked with care in order to follow the original recipe.
Some of the herbs used are the following: thyme, lavender, master-wort (angelica), fennel,lavender cotton, sage, mint, lemon-balm, hyssop, camomile and lemon verbena.
