Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto

Italics Rosolio di Bergamotto is a unique and refreshing Italian spirit that is produced in the region of Calabria. This region, located in the southern part of Italy, is known for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and delicious cuisine. It is also home to the beautiful bergamot fruit, which is the main ingredient in Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto.

The story of Italicus begins with the founder, Giuseppe Gallo, who was inspired by the rich history and tradition of rosolio in Italy. Rosolio is a traditional Italian liqueur that dates back to the 19th century and was used to celebrate special occasions and as a symbol of hospitality. Gallo wanted to revive this forgotten spirit and create a modern version that would appeal to a new generation of drinkers.

The bergamot used in Italicus is grown in the Calabrian town of Reggio di Calabria, which is known for producing the finest quality bergamot in the world. The fruit is hand-picked and then infused with a blend of Italian botanicals such as chamomile, lavender, and gentian to create a complex and well-balanced flavor profile. The result is a vibrant and aromatic spirit with notes of citrus, florals, and herbs.

Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto is made using a traditional maceration process, where the botanicals are steeped in a neutral grain spirit for several weeks. This allows the flavors to fully develop and infuse into the spirit. The final product is then bottled at 20% ABV and packaged in a stunning, art-deco inspired bottle that is a nod to the golden age of Italian aperitivo.

This unique spirit is best enjoyed as an aperitivo, either on its own or mixed in a refreshing cocktail. Its versatility has made it a favorite among bartenders and mixologists, who have created a variety of delicious cocktails using Italicus.
