Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur is a Liqueur from the Italicus Liqueur brand hailing from Italy.

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.

  • Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto revived a nearly forgotten category of Italian aperitivo. The original "rosolio" was a popular drink among Italian nobility in the 15th century, flavored with rose petals. Italicus modernized this ancient recipe by showcasing bergamot, a citrus fruit primarily grown in Calabria.
  • The striking blue bottle design of Italicus isn't just for show—it's a nod to the Turquoise Coast of Italy, where the Romans believed Venus, the goddess of beauty, emerged from the sea. The bottle's shape is inspired by ancient Roman columns, complete with a stopper reminiscent of a Roman cup.
  • Despite its Italian heritage, Italicus was actually created by a British bartender, Giuseppe Gallo. He spent over a decade perfecting the recipe, which includes not only bergamot, but also cedro lemons, chamomile, lavender, gentian, yellow roses, and melissa balm—all macerated together using an unusual cold-fusion process.

      Refreshing and Different

      Saw this online, could not find locally so enter Curiada! Ordered and it was shipped timely. Since then I have enjoyed this first bottle (bought 2) with an unlimited number of options. It is super refreshing, and honestly a little can go a long way depending how you like your cocktails.

      Refreshingly tasty

      I bought this bottle after having a cocktail with it at a local restaurant. It makes a great summertime spritz or a negroni variation.
