Bordiga Centum Herbis Monasticus Herbal Bitters

This is a delightful herbal blend offering aromas of bright lemon, fresh tarragon and thyme. It is light and bright on the palate with the fresh herbs picking up a bit of mint on the finish. - D&M TASTING NOTES

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Centum Herbis (translation: 100 herbs) is part of a group of Italian liqueurs called Centoerbe which are indigenous to the alps and other mountainous regions."

TASTING: "Bordiga’s rendition, unique because of its lower ABV, defines itself with a brighter, more floral bouquet of aromatics. Genepy forward, and packed with mint and fresh green herb, it has a delicate finish and pairs well with a variety of spirits and other modifiers. Try this in a Last Word, Bijou, Naked and Famous, spritz with lemon and Asti Spumante. (28% ABV)”

PRIMARY BOTANICALS: “Genepy, wild alpine peppermint, thyme, eucalyptus, chamomile, wormwood, fennel, lavender, nutmeg, cinnamon, and juniper; local botanicals are wild foraged between 500 and 1700 meters, with the majority above 800. Genepy, a protected plant, is the exception, and is cultivated above 2000 meters. Others sourced from Asia.”

METHOD OF PRODUCTION: “Botanicals infused individually in organic neutral wheat spirit for 20-50 days. Alpine water and beet sugar added. Rested 20-30 days in stainless steel. Paper-filtered.”
