What is Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur?
Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto is a revival of a nearly forgotten Italian aperitivo, crafted with fragrant bergamot oranges and cedro lemons from Calabria. Interestingly, this liqueur's recipe is inspired by a drink that was once so popular in Italy that King Vittorio Amedeo III banned it in the 18th century to prevent widespread drunkenness among his subjects.
Why do we love Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur?
Cocktail aficionados should embrace Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto for its unique revival of a nearly forgotten Italian aperitivo tradition. This aromatic liqueur stands out with its distinctive blend of bergamot from Calabria and cedro lemons from Sicilia, combined with chamomile, lavender, and other botanicals, creating a complex, floral-citrus profile that adds a sophisticated twist to classic cocktails and inspires new creations.
How do you drink Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur?
Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur shines in refreshing, citrus-forward cocktails, particularly those with a sparkling wine base, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice as an aperitif. Its bright, floral notes make it a perfect companion for warm spring and summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light seafood dishes, fresh salads, and soft cheeses.

Nose: Bright citrus notes of bergamot and lemon zest hit first, followed by a gentle floral bouquet reminiscent of chamomile and lavender. Subtle hints of rose petals and fresh herbs like thyme round out the aroma.
Palate: Smooth and silky texture carries flavors of candied citrus peel, particularly bergamot orange. Light honey sweetness balances gentle bitter notes. Herbal touches of gentian and melissa leaf add complexity. A slight spiciness reminiscent of white pepper appears mid-palate.
Finish: Medium-long finish with lingering citrus oils and a pleasant bittersweet quality. Floral notes reemerge alongside a subtle woody character. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a slight tingle on the tongue.
Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto is crafted using a time-honored Italian recipe that blends bergamot oranges from Calabria with cedro lemons, chamomile, lavender, and gentle spices. The production process involves macerating the bergamot peels in cold water to release their essential oils before combining them with the other botanicals and neutral grain spirit, resulting in a uniquely aromatic and flavorful liqueur that captures the essence of the Mediterranean.
