Dimmi Liquore di Milano (75cl, 35%)

Dimmi Liquore di Milano is an Italian botanical liqueur from Lombardy, built on a 1930s Milanese recipe. Soft winter wheat spirits receive two separate infusions of botanicals and blossoms, including apricot and peach flowers, with a measured touch of Grappa di Barolo for vinous depth. It sits between an aperitivo bitter and a floral digestivo, with bitter herbs, orange, anise, sage and stone-fruit blossoms. It can be served over ice with soda or used in place of vermouth in cocktail variations. The nose brings zesty orange peel, lemon, anise, sage and white flowers. The palate balances citrus zest and vanilla-custard richness against rhubarb tartness and earthy root flavours, finishing long with spice, citrus peel and a delicate floral echo.
