Giuseppe Alberti - Liquore Strega 50cl Bottle

Product Description

Made of over 70 different barks & herbs, it was first produced in Benevento, central Italy & is steeped in history where it is told that the drink was first made by beautiful female sprites & used their new potion to cast spells on lovesick humans, therby giving its name, Strega, meaning witch. It dates back to the 1860's & continues to have a romantic association where legend has it that couples who drink it together will remain united in love forever. A perfectly natural product, it obtains its typical yellow colour from the saffron added to the alcoholic infusion; then a long fermentation in oak vats concurs to the perfect balance of the aromas & contributes to the characteristic fine, smooth & soft taste. Excellent after a meal, it expresses its versatility in the most varied manners hence assuring an indisputable satisfaction whether sipping it dry, with ice or iced. Both the taste & the warm solar colour become the inseparable companions of long-drinks & cocktails, but it is also added to ice cream, fruit salad & as ingredient in cake preparations.
