Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto (75cl, 20%)

An Italian bergamot liqueur from Torino, bottled at 20% ABV in a 750ml bottle, reviving the rosolio tradition through cold-extracted Calabrian citrus and alpine botanicals. It is produced at Torino Distillati using bergamot oranges from Calabria and cedro from Sicily, extracted by sfumatura, then blended with neutral Italian grain spirit and a maceration of chamomile, lavender, yellow roses, lemon balm and gentian root. The nose shows bright bergamot zest and lemon oil, with chamomile, lavender and orange blossom. The palate is silky, with candied citrus peel, light honey sweetness, gentian bitterness and white pepper spice. The finish is medium in length, slightly drying, with tart orange peel and lingering rooty bitterness.
