LUXARDO Sambuca Dei Cesari

Star anice, herbs and spices, alcohol, sugar and pure volcanic water from Luxardo 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 guarantee the highest possible quality, which 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. 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

COLOR: With a bright and luminous crystalline tone, Luxardo Sambuca Dei Cesari presents itself with an impeccable and pure appearance, almost liquid in its transparency. The slight viscosity that is observed when swirling it in the glass denotes a softness that invites enjoyment, suggesting that its body will be dense and pleasant on the palate.

NOSE: The first olfactory contact reveals an enveloping and powerful aroma, dominated by the presence of top-quality anise, which opens with a very characteristic herbal freshness. As the perfume develops, subtle notes of candied citrus and a light touch of white flowers, such as orange blossom, emerge, providing a pleasant complexity. A slight background of sweet spices and a hint of liquorice provide greater depth and balance, while remaining a harmonious and clean ensemble, inviting a leisurely tasting.

TASTE: At first sip, the liqueur unfolds in a smooth and velvety way, filling the mouth with a sweetness that is not cloying, but well-balanced. The anise is the undisputed protagonist, but its intensity is perfectly modulated, allowing other nuances to slowly emerge: a touch of bitter almond and a slight note of dried herbs that provide freshness and persistence. The finish is long and pleasant, with a subtle aftertaste of sweet spices, leaving a velvety sensation on the palate that invites you to enjoy the experience once again. It is a well-structured liqueur, with body, but at the same time very refreshing and clean.
