Tasting Notes
Appearance
Luminous pale gold with brilliant clarity and aquamarine-toned glass bottle featuring golden accents, reflecting Italian art and history with a handcrafted cap that pays homage to ancient Rome.
Aroma
The nose reveals vibrant Calabrian bergamot with bright citrus notes, complemented by delicate chamomile, lavender, and rose petals. Hints of Italian cedro, Sicilian lemon, and Mediterranean herbs add complexity, whilst the aromatic profile remains fresh, floral, and inviting, capturing the essence of Italian morning dew ('ros olis') when ingredients were traditionally harvested at peak flavour concentration.
Palate
Elegant and refined, the palate delivers a beautiful balance of bergamot, citrus, and floral notes with subtle herbal undertones. The liqueur's structure showcases the historic Rosolio tradition, once served as 'Aperitivo di Corte' to the King of Savoia before the appearance of Vermouth and Amaro in Italy. Notes of chamomile, rose, lavender, and gentle spice create layers of sophistication, whilst the smooth texture and moderate sweetness provide perfect balance. The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering bergamot and floral notes, making this aperitif ideal for classic Italian cocktails and creative mixology.
Pairs With
This versatile Italian aperitif is perfect in a Spritz, Negroni Bianco, Martini, or Gin & Tonic, and pairs beautifully with Italian antipasti, fresh seafood, light salads, citrus-based dishes, soft cheeses, aperitivo hour, and celebration occasions.
