Italicus is a Rosolio, an Italian liqueur made with rose petals dating back to the 15th century. It was created by Giuseppi Gallo, the former brand ambassador for Martini & Rossi. Made at a family-owned distillery in Moncalieri, Torino, it begins with bergamot from the Calabrian region and cedro from Sicilia. The two ingredients undergo the sfumatura process – a traditional technique for manually extracting essential oils – before being blended with a neutral Italian spirit. After this, Roman chamomile from Lazio, lavender, gentian, yellow roses and melissa balm from northern Italy are macerated together for several days before being added. It is lightly citrusy on the nose, with hints of rose and lavender; on the palate fresh tones of ripe citrus fruits are balanced with a light bitter and floral spice before giving way to a complex and long-lasting finish.
