Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur is a modern revival of the historic Italian aperitivo tradition known as rosolio, reimagined for today’s cocktail culture. Created by renowned Italian bartender Giuseppe Gallo, Italicus captures the elegance of Italy’s heritage while offering a fresh, contemporary flavor profile built around Calabrian bergamot, a citrus fruit prized for its aromatic complexity. Produced at a family-owned distillery near Moncalieri in northern Italy, Italicus combines authenticity, craftsmanship, and modern sophistication in one of the most distinctive liqueurs on the market.
Crafted using a base of Italian grain spirit, the liqueur is infused with bergamot from Calabria and cedar from Sicily, alongside a delicate blend of botanicals including chamomile, lavender, yellow roses, gentian, and Melissa balm. The result is a liqueur that is fragrant, lightly floral, and citrus-forward, offering a balance of zesty brightness and herbal depth. At 20% ABV, it is approachable and versatile, designed to be enjoyed as a spritz with prosecco and soda, as an aperitivo over ice, or as a key ingredient in inventive cocktails.
Presentation underscores Italicus’ prestige and artistry. The tall aquamarine bottle with gilded accents reflects both Mediterranean elegance and Italian craftsmanship, making it as visually striking as it is flavorful. Since its launch in 2016, Italicus has received global recognition and multiple awards, quickly establishing itself as a modern classic.
For enthusiasts, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto Liqueur is more than just a liqueur—it is a sensory journey through Italy’s cultural and botanical heritage. Whether used to elevate cocktails or enjoyed in simple serves, it embodies the timeless beauty of Italian aperitivo tradition reimagined for a new generation.
