Venetian Amaretto Salizà by Bepi Tosolini distillery
The Venetian Amaretto Salizà by Bepi Tosolini is more than just a liqueur; it is a journey into the history and legends of Venice. The name “Salizà” draws inspiration from the Castello district, near St. Mark’s Square, where the Salizà del Pignatter can be found. Here, beneath an arch, lies a red heart-shaped stone, and legend has it that couples who visit together will love each other forever. This evocative Venetian story is the backdrop to the name of this amaretto, a true almond distillate that embodies the balance between tradition and modern taste.
Liquor Characteristics
The Amaretto Salizà is crafted following Bepi Tosolini’s original recipe, without the addition of colorants, artificial flavors, or preservatives, ensuring an authentic and natural tasting experience. The production process uses Italian almonds infused and distilled with aged brandy, all through artisanal distillation in herbal steam stills. This traditional method enhances the purity and intensity of the ingredients, resulting in a liqueur with an alcohol content of 28% vol.
