Anisetta Meletti Dolce (70CL, 34.0% Vol.) 

Anisetta Meletti Dolce 0.70 lt. Distillate of anise seeds and other natural aromas from the Piceno area, produced according to the original recipe created way back in 1870 by Cav. Silvio Meletti. It was 1870 and a witty gentleman from Ascoli, a certain Silvio Meletti, owner of Caffè Meletti, one of the oldest bars in Ascoli Piceno, in order to perfect the recipe for an aniseed liqueur that his mother made, decided to create a sort of bain-marie still, with slow steaming, so that all the essence could be extracted from the anise seeds and given more aroma and taste to the distillate. Thus was born Anisetta Meletti, a fresh, aromatic and delicately sweet liqueur, obtained from the distillation of the seeds of a spontaneous plant, Pimpinella Anisum, similar to those of wild fennel but with a particular minty aftertaste to characterize them. Macerated in pure alcohol, these seeds will release all their precious essential oils, the main creators of aroma and taste, after which other secret ingredients and sugar will be added and the liqueur will be ready for bottling. Colorless with slightly opalescent reflections, It releases intense and appetizing ethereal and aromatic notes on the nose reminiscent of anise, liquorice and mint. When tasted it is soft, sweet, fresh and tasty, with a nice intense and spicy finish.
