Tasting Notes:

"Rucolino" Amaro alla Rucola is made from two types of Arugula (also known as Rucola - hence the name Rucolino) leaves along with citrus peel, herbs, and roots that grow on the island of which each give different flavour profiles to this liqueur - Riccia which has strong bitterish flavours and Vellutata with smoother flavours.

Dark amber colour with citrus, cedar and caramel aromas and a bright flavour profile with a joyful bitter aftertaste.

Production:

The Aragula leaves and roots are infused in alcohol and macerated for 40 days with citrus peel and other herbs.
