Romana Sambuca

Romana Sambuca carries the city's very name in its own: Rome, where sambuca truly became part of everyday life in bars and trattorias. The style is classic, sweet and aniseed-driven, faithful to the original Roman school rather than the sweeter, more colourful export variants. It's a sambuca that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.

About Romana

Romana Sambuca is a classic Italian sambuca named after Rome, the city where sambuca culture truly has its roots. For the newcomer it's a clean, straightforward introduction to the Italian aniseed liqueur; for the connoisseur, the interest lies in Romana staying true to the original, less sweet Roman style rather than the more commercialised export versions often found outside Italy.

History & Background

Romana Sambuca is produced according to the classic Roman method of aniseed distillation, where star anise forms the backbone of a clear, sweetened spirit. The tradition of sambuca in Rome dates back to the late 1800s, when distillers in the region began experimenting with aniseed-based liqueurs as a milder, sweeter counterpart to the more bitter herbal liqueurs of the time. The name Romana underlines exactly this rootedness in the capital's own distilling heritage, as opposed to the many international sambuca variants that have since emerged.

Production & Style

The sambuca is distilled from star anise following a classic recipe, where the sweetness comes from a combination of the anise oil and added sugar.

Signature Style
