Italicus // Italy
Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto is a straw colored citrus liqueur. It was crafted by acclaimed barman and Italian spirits expert Giuseppe Gallo who adjusted the proportions and sweetness levels from a 19th century recipe for Rosolio. It begins with Calabrian bergamot oranges and Sicilian cedri which have gone through the sfumatura process -- a method of extracting essential oils from citrus fruit.
This is then added to neutral grain alcohol. Other ingredients include lavender, roses, chamomile, melissa balm and gentian in addition to sugar. .

Tasting Notes
"Bright citrus opens on the nose, with just-expressed grapefruit peel, bergamot, Lemon Pledge, and floral potpourri. The palate is oily and zesty, with sugar-covered chewy orange and lemon gummy wedges, citrus simple syrup, lavender and rose, and just a touch of bitter. A liqueur begging for a well-made cocktail, the only issue is it veers syrupy sweet on the palate."
