Peperoncino – 500 ml

Chilli Liqueur

This liqueur was born from the cold infusion of Habanero and "Guardacielo" peppers from Salento, bitter and sweet almonds from Toritto (Slow Food presidium) and pure saffron in pistils.

The fruits are harvested during the ripening period.

This liqueur was diluted with the infused fruit teas to obtain a unique flavor, but intensely spicy only for chilli peppers, and to extrapolate the active ingredients both by alcoholic infusion and by maceration in hot water.

At the first sip the taste is explosive and very spicy, then the delicate notes of almonds and pasty of saffron take over.

At sight the fiery yellow of saffron predominates, on the nose the scent of almonds and the intrusive spiciness of Habanero on the palate.

Strongly digestive, it is a natural disinfectant and warmer.

Because of its spiciness, sip it very carefully.
