Calvilla Apple Liqueur
Liquore based on “Calvilla” apples, which are blended with an aquavite wine that has extracted all their primary aromas and fragrances.
The name may derive from a town on the border between France and Flanders, in Lorraine, Calleville. Piedmontese apple growing has an ancient history, traces of which date back to the Middle Ages, when monasteries cultivated and improved the varieties that had survived the barbarian invasions. In the 18th century, some varieties were brought to the Pellice and Chisone valleys in Piedmont by French farmers. The apples used are part of the Slow Food Presidia and come from the farms of the “Frutto Permesso” Cooperative, which cultivates them using integrated organic farming methods.
“AB Selezione” supports the Slow Food Presidia and the Orti in Africa with this product, promoting the recovery and enhancement of local products for “good, clean, and fair” agriculture.
COLOR: pale, bright straw yellow.
FRAGRANCE: an enveloping presence of ripe apple, delicately scented with cinnamon; in the background, subtle hints of linden honey, banana, and wisteria flowers.
FLAVOR: the perfect sweetness of the apple pulp, fine, tender, and highly juicy, in hidden harmony with the delicate and elegant brandy that provides its structure.
