His majesty… the digestive
Vino Magazine: April 2008
Its special features are the taste and the sauvage colour but its strong point is the wealth of natural fi bres and curative digestive properties. We wish to introduce you to….fennel, produced mainly in southern Italy. The base ingredient is called Foeniculum vulgare, in other words wild fennel. Its aromatic fruits have always been used to produce the “prince” of all digestives. The secret of the fresh and delicate taste of the Liquore al Finocchietto is the use of wild fennel in fl ower, picked in August and September. The slow infusion of fl owers in alcohol extracts the essence. The infusion obtained is mixed with a sugar solution devoid of colorants and conservatives, giving the product a unique fragrance.
