SALERS GENTIANE APERITIF 750ML

Salers Gentiane Apéritif 750ml is a classic French bitter liqueur made from the roots of the wild Gentiana lutea plant, traditionally harvested in the Massif Central region of France. It is one of the oldest and most authentic gentian aperitifs, first created in 1885 and still produced following its traditional methods.

Description

Salers Gentiane Apéritif has a distinctive bittersweet, earthy profile with vegetal and herbal characteristics. It is lightly sweetened and naturally colored, with notes of citrus peel, mint, anise, and grassy earthiness from the gentian root. The result is a refreshing, slightly bitter drink that reflects its rustic French heritage.
