Star anise, herbs and spices, alcohol, sugar and pure volcanic water from Luxardo’s own springs, are the key ingredients that distinguish Luxardo Sambuca dei Cesari.
Still produced according to the original family recipe, high quality raw materials and cutting edge production methods – including steam distilling the seeds of star anise – guarantee the highest possible quality. This all makes Luxardo Sambuca dei Cesari a premium product.
Already known and appreciated in ancient times for its therapeutic properties, the anise plant, originating from China, became widespread through the centuries in the countries of the Mediterranean coast, where it became widely used for preparing typical dishes and desserts. Combined with elderberries from Padua and aged in Finnish wooden vats, this liqueur has a delicate yet distinctive flavour.
Bottled at a smooth 38% ABV, this liqueur offers a refined drinking experience.
Try it neat, over ice, or with 3 coffee beans for a classic Italian “Sambuca con la mosca”. It is also ideal with coffee or diluted with water for a perfect aperitivo.
Tasting Notes
