A perfect balance between fresh citrus tones and the light and floral bitterness of spices such as rose and lavender.
To fully enhance the citrus flavors and floral notes, taste Italicus in the “Gallicus” cocktail, which is a blend of 40 ml Italicus with 40 ml Prosecco, ice and green olives.
Italicus is made in Moncalieri near Turin, at a small family distillery that dates back to 1906. The Bergamot fruit comes from a UNESCO-protected region in Calabria, and the citron hails from Sicily. These unique ingredients are infused in cold water to bring out the quintessence of their essential oils in a unique process called Sfumatura. They are then blended with a neutral Italian grain alcohol.
A delicate combination of Roman chamomile from the Lazio region, lavender, gentian, yellow roses and lemon balm from northern Italy is then macerated for several days before being combined with the bergamot and citron essential oils, to create this precious liquid that is imbued with Italian history and culture.
