Flavour Intensity
Boves, Italy
The Argalà Distillery is found in a countryside barn at the foot of Italy’s breathtaking Maritime Alps. Their products are an expression of this environment, using botanicals from the peaks of their mountains to the depths of their seas.
A Toast to Tradition
To Argalà, Pastis Artigianale represents their cultural and geographical link to France, where the spirit is traditionally enjoyed. In their valley it reminds them of the many friends and relatives that live across the border, and is the most common way to toast before a meal. After many years in the kitchen tasting and testing their own recipe, they decided to officially start the production of the first Italian handcrafted Pastis in 2011.
Reaching for a Star
As their first flagship liqueur, Pastis Artigianale set a high standard for Argalà that they continue to uphold today. With star anise at its core, this recipe is completely handcrafted using 35 botanicals that are macerated and then distilled. At the end, they add a small quantity of Mascobado cane sugar which brings a licorice flavour that fits well with the other ingredients.
The Brains Behind It
Better Together
Argalà was created by Piero and Enrio - two childhood friends and classmates who grew up together in Boves, Italy. Curious from an early age, their creativity moved from the playground to the kitchen, where they spent many long evenings experimenting with different ideas and ingredients. Since the start of Argalà’s journey in 2011, they’ve produced their spirits with the same passion and homemade approach that they’ve had since they were boys.
