BASANOTTO
Ligurian, lively, smooth!
The first born in the Typical Liqueurs family! We carefully selected the finest ingredients typical of Liguria.
Organic wheat alcohol, organic cane sugar, Genoese PDO basil, organic sage, Slow Food Presidia chinotto from Savona, organic lemon peels, organic mint, in mineral water from the Fonte Bauda spring in Calizzano.
The ingredients are macerated for three weeks, except for sage and basil, which require only 10 days. Next, an initial filtration is carried out, after which it is left to rest for about ten days, then filtered again at high pressure to achieve clarity.
On the nose, citrus aromas of lemon and chinotto emerge, with a herbal finish from the blend of basil and sage, pleasantly interspersed with the freshness of mint. On the palate, the evolution is delicate and velvety, with a pleasantly lingering finish. Perfect neat or as a cocktail base.
