Xenta Absenta Apple is a bold, fruit-infused Italian absinthe crafted by Torino Distillati. Building upon the classic Xenta recipe of approximately ten Alpine botanicals—including grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), star anise, and coriander—it is infused with the crisp, refreshing essence of ripe green apples. Bottled at a powerful 70% ABV, the liquid exhibits a vibrant emerald-green hue that transforms into a milky, opalescent louche when diluted with ice-cold water in the traditional manner. On the nose, expect bright green apple aromas layered over the signature anise-wormwood backbone. The palate delivers an invigorating combination of tart apple freshness, sweet licorice, and a structured herbal bitterness that lingers on the finish. A uniquely Italian take on the 'Green Fairy' for adventurous spirit enthusiasts.

While the Classic Xenta Absenta focuses purely on its botanical blend of wormwood, anise, and coriander, the Apple variant incorporates an additional infusion of crisp green apple essence, giving it a refreshing, fruit-forward twist on the traditional herbal absinthe profile.
The traditional method is the French drip: place a perforated absinthe spoon with a sugar cube over the glass, then slowly drip ice-cold water over the cube. This dilutes the spirit 3:1 to 5:1, releasing the louche and unlocking the apple and herbal aromas.
Yes. Xenta Absenta is produced by Torino Distillati in Italy using authentic Artemisia absinthium (grand wormwood) harvested from the Italian Alps, meeting the traditional botanical requirements of genuine absinthe.
