Based on an original recipe from the 1850’s, Rosolio was well known in Italy at that time as ‘Aperitivo di Corte’ or the Drink of Kings.
Italian Spirits expert Giuseppe Gallo intended to resurrect the long lost Rosolio category with the launch of Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, combining inspiration from generations past with modern flavor profiles.
