Description
Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto 20% 0.7 l is a modern yet tradition-conscious reinterpretation of the historic Italian liqueur category Rosolio, which was known as "Aperitivo di Corte" under the House of Savoy in the 18th century. Italicus combines this almost forgotten tradition with contemporary elegance and presents a distillate that reflects the ingredients, art and cultural diversity of Italy in liquid form. The botanicals that characterize this liqueur come from northern to southern Italy, above all the aromatic Calabrian bergamot. Since its launch in 2016, Italicus has received numerous awards worldwide for its exceptional quality, striking bottle design and unique origin.
Production follows a careful, classic method: first, the bergamot peel and selected herbs are macerated in high-quality neutral alcohol before gentle distillation. This process preserves the delicate citrus and floral notes that define the characteristic taste of Rosolio. Italicus embodies Mediterranean lightness and floral elegance, making it a versatile aperitif - from sparkling long drinks to modern signature cocktails.

This Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto is ideal for classic aperitif drinks such as the Italicus Spritz with Prosecco and soda or for variations such as Italicus & Tonic with lemon zest. With food, it harmonizes wonderfully with light Mediterranean dishes, fresh salads, antipasti, crostini or mild cheese. It also makes a harmonious, fresh pairing with desserts such as lemon cake, almond pastries or fruit tarts. Served chilled as an aperitif, its aromatic bergamot freshness is particularly intense.
