GRAPPA ACHILLEA 6X0,7L 40°

Cod. GRA0003
Achilles hero of Greek mythology, used this herb to treat the wounds of his soldiers. Hence the name of this plant with its characteristic aroma, widely used in the mountains for its healing and digestive properties. The slightly bitter character is due to the active ingredient a glucoside known as Achilleina. The aroma is of citrus fruits and the pleasant but slightly bitter taste of the Achillea matches perfectly with the smoothness of the grappa.
