Molinari Sambuca

Molinari is the name Romans themselves mention first when talk turns to sambuca. The family business has stuck to its original recipe for over a century and remains one of Italy's best-selling sambuca brands on its home market. It's a bottle that doesn't need export polish to prove its worth.

Ekspertens beskrivelse
Molinari Sambuca Extra is an Italian aniseed liqueur from Civitavecchia, bottled at 40% ABV.
Angelo Molinari, a trained perfumer, began his experiments in 1945 to create a sambuca of the highest quality, and the recipe remains secret to this day. The liqueur quickly became part of Roman bar culture and featured, among other things, in Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita". In 1974, the family expanded production with a new facility in Colfelice near Frosinone.
Smag
The liqueur has an unmistakable, clean flavour based on star anise, with a full sweetness and an intense aroma. The high ABV of 40% adds extra strength and warmth to the taste.

About Molinari

Molinari Sambuca is one of Italy's best-known sambuca brands, known for its classic, sweet aniseed flavour. For the newcomer it's the most recognisable entry into the sambuca category; for the connoisseur, Molinari is interesting as the market leader within Italy itself, where the brand remains Romans' preferred choice for finishing off dinner, unlike several other sambuca brands that focus primarily on export markets.

History & Background

Molinari was founded in Civitavecchia near Rome in 1945 by Angelo Molinari, who developed his own sambuca recipe based on distilled star anise. The family has stuck to the original formula ever since and the company is now run by the third generation. In Italy, Molinari is regarded as the benchmark for how an authentic Roman sambuca should taste, and the brand continues to dominate the Italian domestic market, often preferred over its more export-focused competitors.

Production & Style

The sambuca is made from star anise and other spices, distilled and sweetened following classic Roman methods.

Signature Style
