AURUM

This is the name that great Italian poet Gabriele d’Annunzio gave to this fine liqueur with roots in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Its unique recipe – emanation of an ancient craft where a fine oak barrel aged liqueur meets a rare distilled citrus fruit – has an origin lost in myth. In his “Ars Amandi” Ovid tells of this “Mulsum Citreum” – or amber citrus nectar kept in an elegant pompeian vase – offered as a gift to his beloved Julia, daughter of emperor Augustus. A spirit of sublime passion, pure poetry for the palate, it’s an ideal after-dinner liqueur and dessert companion.
