New: Caffo Clementino Della Piana
Liqueur of Calabrian Clementines
Country: Italy
Region: Calabria and Limbadi
Ingredients: Botanicals include clementine peels and saffron
ABV: 30%
Clementines, a cross between a bitter orange and a mandarin, are known for their aromatic peels and almost seedless, sweet flesh. The clementines grown in Calabria are widely considered to be some of the very best, hence their protected geographical indication (Clementine di Calabria IGP). Caffo continues its tradition of capturing the very best of Calabria’s agricultural bounty with this dimensional orange liqueur.
Clementines are sourced from La piana di Gioia Tauro (the Gioia Tauro plain), a lush and historically rich area located just north of Reggio Calabria and known, in part, for its cultivation of olives and citrus.
Tasting notes: A nose of clementine oil, whipped cream, and orange sorbet leads to a dynamic palate of clementine peel and flesh, tapering into citrus-oil bitterness before lingering with a pleasant hint of warming spice.
Pairings: Use as a cocktailing component or simply enjoy, as they do in Calabria, over ice, topped with tonic or club soda.
Our Price: $25.00
