It soon became a mythical elixir with extraordinary properties.

Tasting: The taste is full, velvety and wrapping. Pleasant bitter aftertaste reminiscent of the olfactory sensations. Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif or digestif. Try it with bitter chocolate, desserts and pastries made with chocolate, ice cream, Piedmont hazelnut cake ...or serve warm as a panacea.
