Bottega Meloncino Melone Liqueur

Bottega is a family distillery in the Veneto, founded at Bibano in 1977 on a vine growing tradition reaching back to 1635 and known for pioneering single varietal grappa. This Meloncino is made by blending natural fruit juice from melons grown in good conditions with grappa, alcohol and sugar, giving a sweet, fresh fruit liqueur bottled at 28%.

The nose carries intense fresh aromas of ripe melon, the palate rich, fresh and fruity with clear melon. As a fruit liqueur it lends bright varietal flavour, sweetness and colour to a glass, which makes it a useful aperitif and long drink base. Serve it chilled or on the rocks, build it into summery cocktails and long drinks with sparkling wine or soda, or pour it alongside ice cream, sorbet and fruit desserts. A straightforward melon note for buyers who want one ready to mix.
