Bordiga Pastis (700ml)

The Bordiga Pastis appears amber and clear in the glass. The nose reveals decisive notes of anise and licorice enriched with Provençal aromatic herbs. The taste is full of fresh and decisive aniseed with an aftertaste of herbs and fennel, the finish is persistent accompanied by a hint of licorice.

Anise has been used since ancient times by Mediterranean civilizations as an ingredient for the preparation of alcoholic beverages. Today the best known are the transgressive absinthe, the distillate favored by the cursed poets of the bohemian era, or the more Provençal Pastis of the Occitan lands. In the ancient Occitan, the term "pastis" indicates a mixture, a pie indeed. It is consumed diluted with water, sometimes with the addition of a drop of mint syrup, barley water or grenadine.
