Antica Black has the same traditional but more pronounced
and fragrant anise aroma with an added licorice perfume leading to luxuriously
rich, silky, sweet flavors with herbal notes on the palate.Sambuca is
traditionally served on its own as a liqueur, with ice or in coffee. To
appreciate Antica in its purest form, pour an inch of Sambuca in a snifter and
garnish with three espresso beans.
Sambuca is an old Italian favourite, traditionally served
flaming with three coffee beans floating on top. In the past few years its
popularity has grown out of Italian restaurants to become the shooter of choice
in style bars and clubs around the country. Now Antica have updated the classic
liquorice lover's liquor to bring out three spectacular new flavors - Vanilla,
Coffee and Raspberry. Developed in the Sambuca heartland north of Venice, the
flavors have been delicately blended using natural ingredients to enhance the
natural anisette taste.
Antica Sambuca is the number 2 brand among Sambucas
worldwide and a genuine Italian original from the Rossi D’Asiago distillery.
The Rossi D’Asiago distillery is an Italian family enterprise located between
Venice and the Dolomites. The origin of the company dates back to 1868, and the
company has been particularly characterised in recent years by the innovative
and contemporary owner Francesco del Toso. The mission of the family enterprise
was the renewal of the “old” category Sambuca and the transition into a new era
as well as addressing a younger target group. Today Antica Sambuca stands out
from the masses with a classy, modern and eye-catching bottle design. The
innovative Pro-Pour pourer in every bottle, which also makes it possible to
pour like a bar professional at home, is also as unique as the bottle. The
special features, but also the high quality of natural and selected ingredients
such as star anise, herbs and spices, make Antica Sambuca the most-awarded
Sambuca of recent years.
The Italian original launches the first flavoured
Sambucas on the German market. Antica Raspberry and Antica Liquorice convince
with a pleasant and fruity raspberry flavour or the intense aroma of anise and
liquorice.
Antica Sambuca is a unique brand with many facets –
versatile as a shot, “on the rocks”, in cocktails and mixed drinks or for
refining desserts.
The steam distillation of star anise flowers together
with an infusion of sweet orange, coriander, iris and Turkish rose, form the
basis of our Antica Sambuca, making it one the most famous Italian liqueurs.
Mixing the star anise distillate with essential oils, fine spirits and the
purest white sugar gives the product a delightful anise aroma. Velvety,
harmonious and intense, Antica Sambuca has received many acknowledgements and
international awards for its extraordinary quality.
