IL RATAFIA' DI NONNA ERMINIA

 



“Il Ratafià di Nonna Erminia” is a valuable liqueur made from an ancient and jealously guarded family recipe.

Its realization involves the infusion of twelve aromatic herbs, together with cherry and black cherry leaves, in alcohol and Taurasi wine for a period of time that goes from six months to a year; the final product, well amalgamated, is destined for a further two year aging in cherry barriques.

Traditionally tasted at the end of the meal, in combination with classic desserts, it is also indicated as a meditation liqueur, as it evokes the inscription of Horace engraved on the precious bottle: “Do not worry too much if people is worried for some reason: enjoy the gifts of this moment and forget the strict commitments”.


Compositon: Taurasi wine (aged in barriques for six years); different leaves of cherry and black cherry; twelve aromatic herbs; alcohol; sugar.
