Amaro Riserva St. Hubertus 70 cl
Cellar
Pietro Bordiga was a passionate herbalist, a profound connoisseur above all of Alpine botanicals and oriental spices that were much sought after at the time. In the context of the Risorgimento, thanks above all to his botanical knowledge, Pietro Bordiga invented a recipe for Vermouth di Torino (created in its modern version in Turin a few decades earlier), which was immediately greatly appreciated in the city.
He then decided to start his own business as a Vermouth producer and opened his distillery in Cuneo. Over the years, the company developed thanks to the genuineness and quality of its products and became a point of reference not only for Vermouths, but also for liqueurs and spirits, especially alpine ones, but not only: at the beginning of the 20th century, a juniper distillate was produced in Bordiga's stills that is still the envy of the world's best-known gins. Characteristics that remain to this day: good Piedmontese wine, alpine herbs still hand-picked by the mountain folk, the finest spices, the purest grain alcohol, the finest sugar and the water of our Alps form the basis with which our master distillers, with their ancestral and jealously guarded wisdom, produce the renowned Bordiga products that are today appreciated all over the world.
Description
Amaro riserva St. Hubertus is counted among the best bitters in the Italian tradition. It represents the apotheosis of the distillery's artisanal and zealous approach to quality. The starting point is the highest quality herbs and flowers that are selected by expert mountaineers in the alpine landscape of the Cuneo valleys. Distilleria Bordiga's strong point are the alpine herbs that are still hand-picked and dried at high altitudes by mountain people in an unspoilt environment. This means that the botanicals used are wild, and are therefore harvested without the aid of engines, without pesticides, fertilisers, fungicides and, above all, with enormous attention to product quality while respecting the environment. Each production, just as in the past, is totally conditioned by the succession of the seasons and variations in the climate. Once harvested, the herbs are meticulously checked by the Master distillers who deliver only the best ones for processing.
