Amaro with Alpine Herbs
TASTING NOTES
Walser is a bitter alpine herb, born where nature has given man the highest peaks and glaciers in Europe: the Monte Rosa Massif. In the Upper Lys Valley, in the Aosta Valley, the Walser Mountain Community, settled there in 1200, rich in centuries-old traditions, created this precious recipe characterized by natural flavors obtained from alpine digestive herbs, gentle wormwood, relaxing anise, restorative green bitter orange, with aromatics and medicinal products, sage, peppermint and lavender. Giovanni Rapa, founder of the liquor factory of the same name, collected its tradition and began its production at the end of the 1800s. Today the bitter Walser is still produced faithfully following the ancient recipe, with unchanged art and passion.

Giovanni Rapa founded the liqueur factory of the same name in 1880 in Piemonti in Valle Cervo, near Andorno Micca, a small town in the province of Biella where he still resides today. It is in the same year that the founder dedicated himself to the production of Ratafià , carrying on a century-old tradition. It is a liqueur composed of a cold infusion of fruit or flowers and alcohol such as brandy or wine. With an intense and versatile taste, Piedmontese Ratafià can be obtained from different raw materials, such as Black Cherry Ratafià, Juniper Ratafià, and many others. Passionate about flowers and alpine herbs, Giovanni Rapa is also involved in the creation and production of Walser, a bitter that comes from an ancient Valle d'Aosta tradition, obtained from digestive herbs, whose recipe is still faithfully followed today. The farsighted founder of the company obtained numerous awards: he was awarded by the S.A.R. Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia, by Pope Leo XIII and Pius X and obtained the patent from the Duke of Genoa.
