A blend of Moscato and Nebbiolo fortified with pure alcohol and enriched with cane sugar and infused mostly with absinthe, Alpine mint, cloves, mace and gentian and matured in barriques for six months.

An antique, mahogany color of medium intensity with consistent orange reflections. The note of alcohol is perfectly merged into the bouquet and, above all, is very pure. The dominate aroma is that if absinthe and gentian, followed by scents of orange peel and vanilla creating a bouquet of superlative complexity. The full-bodied mouthfeel has a semi-sweet and consistent attack with grassy-citrusy notes to then expand and dry out at the center of the palate with a wonderfully citrus and bitter finish and an exceptional persistence.

A masterpiece to drink cold (and obviously neat) in small glasses. A great quality/price ratio.
