History: 
Creator of Italicus, Giuseppe Gallo revived Rosolio (a popular liqueur in Italy during the Renaissance) in a small family distillery dating from 1906 in Moncilieri near Turin. He is inspired by a traditional recipe dating from 1860 which he will enrich with ingredients from his own family recipe.
 
 
Elaboration: 
Bergamot and citron are infused in cold water to bring out the quintessence of their essential oils using a unique process called "Sfumatura" before being blended with neutral Italian grain alcohol.
The natural aromatics of chamomile, lavender, gentian, yellow rose and lemon balm are then macerated for several days before being combined with the mixture from the Sfumatura.
The liqueur is naturally sweetened with brown sugar in order to respect the production process of Rosolio, as it was in the 15th century.
