Spiritu re’ Fascitrari (Apiarists’ spirit)
This unique product is made in a traditional way from the distillation of residual substances of the honey pressing with natural beeswax.
The exclusive process, which has been handed down for generations, lies in the mastery of composing the gileppo. This is made through a secret recipe combining a variety of ingredients intended to release all the honey scents and enhance the harmony, softness and excitement of the aftertaste.
