  Item no.: 059763-615-176

  Sardinia is as famous for its dark, bitter licorice root as for its sea, and at Silvio Carta, the island's rustic tradition has been distilled into a liqueur unafraid to taste of real licorice.

  Expert's Description

  Silvio Carta Liqu Licoirce is an Italian licorice liqueur at 23% ABV from Sardinia, made by the spirits house Silvio Carta.

  Silvio Carta has been making wine, liqueurs and distillates from natural Sardinian raw materials, herbs, essences and botanicals since 1970, and the licorice liqueur is one of the house's most characterful products, built around the dark, bittersweet licorice root.

  Taste

  The nose is deep and dark with pure licorice root, and the palate follows with a bittersweet, earthy licorice character that is far more authentic and less sugary than many commercial licorice liqueurs. The finish is long, dry and persistently bittersweet.

  Silvio Carta Sambuca Italy 70 cl 42%

  Item no.: 222491-205536

  On Sardinia, where the sun bakes the wild herbs dry along the coastline, the Carta family has for three generations distilled the island's character into a clear, aromatic sambuca led by star anise.

  Ekspertens beskrivelse

  Silvio Carta Sambuca is an Italian anise liqueur at 42% ABV, produced by Silvio Carta on Sardinia from star anise and local herbs.

  Silvio Carta founded his company in Baratili San Pietro in the early 1950s and was the man who brought modern winemaking to Sardinia. Today the company is run by his son, Elio Carta, who maintains a production process in which every element - from grapes and grain to the aromatic herbs - is authentically Sardinian. The base is first distilled into a clean, neutral alcohol, which is then infused with star anise and local herbs and distilled a second time to draw out the most delicate flavour nuances.

  Smag

  The nose is intense and spiced with clear anise, liquorice and herbs. The palate is rich and full with layers of anise, liquorice root and warm spice, finishing in a long, soft and aromatic aftertaste without sharp edges.
