ARTICHOKE LIQUEUR 500 ML

Il Carciofo is a very distinctive liqueur made by infusing the bracts of the artichoke (commonly called petals, though they are actually modified leaves that form the protective covering around the heart of the artichoke flower) in alcohol and grappa. It is produced according to the original recipe from the 1800s.

The artichokes are grown naturally without any treatments, harvested at the perfect stage of ripeness, and washed by hand; they are then steeped in alcohol for about 30 days. After a slow process of extracting the aromatic and coloring compounds, the liquid is separated from the pulp. Finally, sugar and grappa are added to create this unique and unmistakable liqueur.

Artichoke Liqueur has a deep red color with occasional purple hues, featuring a classic, intense artichoke aroma combined with sweet, spicy notes. The taste is dry and pleasantly bitter, with intense artichoke undertones.

Perfect as an ingredient in aperitifs, it is excellent served very cold after a meal. It also pairs beautifully with ice cream, sorbets, and fresh fruit salads.

It is recommended to serve it at a very low temperature (-5°C) in small, long-stemmed spirits glasses.
