ITALIANSPIRITSBy now, you may already know that Vias offers a small but wise selection of spirits of Italian excellence that we proudly import. From North to the South, Italy has just as many unique spirits as it does wine, with illustrative histories to match. Summer is the perfect time to dive into the world of Italian spirits, and experiment with their vast array of flavors by crafting cocktails that truly make a splash.

WHERE did the first Italian spirits originate? Some say, in Amaro. Sometime during the Middle Ages, perhaps in the 12th century, two of human history’s most important industries collided, all in the name of medicine. Arab missionaries brought recipes for wine distillation up through Sicily into the Italian mainland, while the maritime spice routes were flourishing. Taking up the Arab’s search for an “elixir for life,” monasteries throughout Southern Italy began to produce their own recipes for these medicines, or “aqua vitae” (water of life). Alcohol was an excellent way to both extract and preserve the wonderful medicinal properties of all kinds of herbs, spices, barks, citrus and fruits, and over time, regional recipes for flavored “elixirs” began to appear throughout Italy’s monasteries, and t hen households. In the 16th century they began to really hit the mainstream and become fashionable throughout Europe, which is widely credited to Catherine de Medici, who married Henry II of France and introduced the French high society to liqueurs. From there, we somehow went to today’s thousands of commercially produced liqueurs, including the dear-to-our-hearts, bittersweet amari.Taste receptors on our tongue are responsible for stimulating taste and allowing us to differentiate between flavors that are savory, sweet, salty, bitter, and so on. As for the bitter taste receptors, evolutionary speaking, they acted as a signal to the

body to avoid consuming plants before the body possessed the enzymes to break them down. Several naturally occurring bitter compounds are toxic and the body’s ability to identify them was an imperative function in staying alive. Not to mention, the bitter taste is among the most sensitive and is often considered harsh and distasteful to some.When something bitter is eaten these taste receptors signal oddly improves the digestive functions. Bitter flavored foods have long been valued for a unique ability to cleanse the body and build vitality. Studies have confirmed that getting an adequate amount bitter flavor is important for digestive balance and linked with many related health benefits.Did you know that bitterness was once bought in a pharmacy?The term “bitters” refers to a drink obtained by infusing herbs with a bitter taste. Already in ancient times, alcohol and root preparations were used to digest long heavy lunches; just think of the good health elixir recommended by Hippocrates, prepared with barley, honey and herbs added to wine.Liquoristics in Europe originated in the Benedictine fortified abbeys. It was the friars, among the few who possessed phytotherapeutic knowledge, who prepared infusions of roots and plants in alcohol. The bitters were therefore administered as medicines, as stimulants in case of lack of appetite in children or as digestives. The definition of bitters intended as a digestive medicine changed in 1906, due to a dispute by the American Food and Drug Administration which decreed its taxation as alcohol and led to a collapse in sales.Fortunately in Italy, a country where the tradition of eating well is supported by that of the end of the meal, the beneficial properties of bitterness continued to be appreciated and families kept the elixir prepared at home in the pantry. Distillers and liquor companies dusted off old pharmaceutical recipes, adapting them to the taste of the current market, and modern Amari were born, inspiring countless other iterations of aromatic spirits to come.

ANTICA DISTELLERIA SIBONAIn the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, we have one of the most important and oldest Italian distilleries, which in fact, possesses the oldest distillation license in Italy: License N° 1, issued by UTF (the offi cial institution that regulates all distillery operations). This is a synonym for a great history and prestige.The Antica Distilleria Domenico Sibona S.p.A., or Sibona, is situated in the Roero zone, in the center of an important wine zone, where the most typical vines from Piedmont are cultivated: Nebbiolo vines from which Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero wines are created according to their own zones of production, as well as Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato, Chardonnay, Arneis and Brachetto vines.Luigi Barbero, the owner and CEO of Sibona was born in 1973. He was already a wine and spirits lover and had visited many cellars and distilleries before he started working with Sibona. His main goal was increase the quality and the production of Sibona’s products, together with the two master distillers and a shareholder with a long experience in the distillate and liquor business.Originally, distillation was carried out by means of an old locomotive, which, in time, gave way to copper alembics and then the finished product into special and unique bottles (graduated bottles), similar to the old bottles used in herbal and spices shops in previous centuries. The marc is distilled no sooner than it arrives in the distillery, which allows the extraction of the grape’s full aroma. Besides the selection of the best marc of the zone, Sibona’s grappas reach high quality levels thanks

to precise distillation, constant updating and improvement of equipment, the experience of two oenologists who have been working in distillation for years, the elimination of the first and last portions of the distillates, and last but not least, a long ageing period in barrels, which renders the grappas not only soft and pleasant but also more complex and aromatized. From its humble origins, Sibona distillery has handcrafted its “grappas” into single vine varieties, aged reserve grappas and distillati, along with bitters and liqueurs, all produced on the property.The Sibona products include: Grappa Barbera, Grappa Barolo, Liquore Aloe, Regular Grappa, Grappa Madeira, Grappa Porto, Aged Whisky Barrel Grappa, Grappa XO, Distillato di Uve di Langa, Amaro, Liquore Camomille.

SANTA MARIA AL MONTEThe Amaro of Santa Maria al Monte comes from a recipe over 100 years old, prepared according to an ancient formula that has survived intact to this day. It is said, in fact, that the most revered Fathers of the Convent of Santa Maria al Monte gave the eclectic Vincenzo Castrovillari, at the time the chef to the Duke of Aosta, a precious parchment containing the recipe for the “Miraculous Lissire (elixir) Saint Mary. ”According to the parchment, the qualities attributed by the Monks to their Elixir were described as follows:“This lissire heals colic, fever, indigestion, bleeds blood, soothes vital forces and removes all evil.”Vincenzo Castrovillari, starting from the herbal studies of the religious, began to elaborate his Amaro, complementing the “Miraculous Lissire” with fine aromatic products from the Alps.The qualities of his prized product were also certified by the most illustrious Genovese doctor of the time, Prof. Edoardo Maragliano

who as director of the Institute of Medical Clinic of the Royal University of Genoa, on June 23, 1894 declared: “By experimenting with Amaro Santa Maria al Monte both in the Clinic directed by me and in the private clientele, I had the opportunity to convince myself that it exerts a tonic action very favorable to the digestive functions, especially in individuals suffering from gastric atony.”Castrovillari then began to submit his Amaro S.Maria al Monte into the most important competitions of the time, enjoying huge successes, starting with the gold medal in Berlin in 1899. He also became a member of the jury in the main French spirits exhibitions in Marseille, Bordeaux and Nice. Subsequently, around 1910, the production was taken over with the original recipe in tact, by the liquorist Nicola Vignale, who in Sampierdarena was already producing liqueurs, syrups and vermouth in his factory. From there, the production was managed for three generations by the Vignale family, which, respecting the original formula, has preserved this ancient Genovese specialty to the present day.The doses and characteristics of the over thirty ingredients are respected with absolute rigor through a meticulous control of the herbs and an aging and processing span of almost a year and a half. The cold infusion of herbs, rhizomes, flowers, roots, bark, seeds, resins and ground leaves, takes about two months and guarantees the extraction of the noble parts of plants rich in healing properties. After eight months of maturation, alcohol and sugar are added to the preparation obtained, and only after another six months of aging do you get a Amaro of 40% alcohol, with a full and round taste, famous for the perfect harmony of aromas and great digestive properties that make it unique and inimitable. It is an exceptional, intense and harmonious digestive, can always be enjoyed straight with ice at the end of the meal, as a perfect coffee “corrective,” or in a creative cocktail.

ÁRVERO As the king of Italian aperitifs and afte-dinner drinks, limoncello needs no introduction. And it is so famous that it boasts many legends about its history. The liqueur was born in the early 1900s, in a small pension on the Blue Island.In Sorrento and Amalfi, legends and tales about the production of the traditional yellow liqueur flock. On the coast, for example, history tells that the great families of Sorrento, at the beginning of the 1900s, never let illustrious guests miss a taste of limoncello, made according to the traditional recipe. In Amalfi, there are those who even claim that the liqueur has very ancient origins, almost related to the cultivation of lemon. Some say that limoncello was used by fishermen and farmers in the morning to combat the cold, already at the time of the invasion of the Saracens. Others believe that the recipe was born inside a monastic convent to delight the friars between one prayer and another.The traditional “yellow liqueur” has crossed borders for decades, conquering markets all over the world. Limoncello bottles are on the shelves of overseas markets, and new important commercial scenarios are developing on the Asian markets. And to defend against imitations, we also ran for cover, reserving the denomination of Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) to produce the characteristic Sorrento “oval.” The original Sorrento lemon must be produced in one of the municipalities in the area from Vico Equense to Massa Lubrense and on the island of Capri.Limoncello “Árvero” is prepared traditionally using the natural zest of selected lemons that have outstanding and unique organoleptic properties. “Árvero” is produced and bottled in the surroundings of the heavenly and astonishing Massa Lubrense. In a world, and an industry, where taking a shortcut is often synonymous of an achievement, Árvero prides itself on being crafted without cutting any

corners.The lemons get picked at sunrise and immediately right after get washed and processed for the infusion.Only the “right” kind of lemons get into the mix. Árvero is made with no chemicals, no added aromas, no added oils and, most importantly, no preservatives (which is what causes the slight discoloration at the bottle’s neck).Árvero’s philosophy and strategy is to promote a real, local and original, experience. Raw materials make the fundamental difference (no other arvero, meaning tree, can make Árvero). The quality of our natural product is determined by the lemons; therefore Árvero is made ONLY with the peninsula lemons which have a uniquely balanced flavor. To retain the great aromas and color of the lemons, they are all hand-picked and processed locally, early in the morning to preserve the right humidity, without being frozen or stored. The result is a Limoncello with rich aromas, a naturally vivid yellow color and a vibrant flavor. Árvero is made from a hydro-alcoholic infusion of fresh lemon zest and sugar. All of the ingredients that go into Árvero are natural with no added chemicals. Traditional production, the quality of raw materials, the methodical production processes and the quest for “an organic ideology” are fundamental requirements.Ideally, Limoncello must be kept in a freezer and served at the end of a meal, however this versatile liqueur can be served simply chilled over ice, or used as a cocktail ingredient and ingredient in desserts.

citrus, elderberries (sambucus) and elderflowers, Sambuca is a fruitier, more intense version of Anisette with higher alcohol, the Queen of the after-dinner drink. This sweet and aromatic liqueur has been crafted by the Nastro D’Oro distillery in the Sorrento Peninsula of Campania since 1996. It’s a traditional ending to a big Italian meal, but we think it can follow any type of cuisine.

AMARO SAN COSTANZOSan Costanzo is the patron and protector of the small village of Termini, named after the last outpost of the Sorrento peninsula, overlooking the sea. The chapel of San Costanzo is accessible only on foot through a path that starts from the factory. On this path we find herbs for the infusion and preparation of this liqueur: mint, fennel, arugula and anise.

NURCHETTOTradition has it that the small and tasty annurche apples are picked ripe but not yet red and are left a few days in the mild autumn sun on “beds” of sawdust so that the melanin of their skins makes them the classic intense red color; the liqueur that comes from their infusion is a straw-colored nectar halfway between cider and calvadòs, perfect if served cold in a glass with raisins.

NASTRO D’OROEstablished in 1996, the Nastro D’Oro distillery is located within Massa Lubrense in a beautiful small village of Termini (‘Outpost’) which is on the edge of the Sorrento Peninsula, and is the departure point for the stunning paths leading towards San Costanzo Peak and Punta della Campanella lighthouse. The Nastro D’Osro distillery produces typical liqueurs from the Sorrento Peninsula. The quality of the handcrafted products is sustained through the careful selection of natural ingredients and the authenticity of traditional recipes.

SAMBUCAThe etymology is disputed: the Molinari company states that the name Sambuca comes from an Arabic word – Zammut. This was the name of an anise-flavoured drink that arrived at the port of Civitavecchia by ships coming from the East in the 1800s. The Oxford English Dictionary states, however, that the term comes from the Latin word sambucus, meaning “elderberry”.It certainly has no connection with the sambuco plant (sambucus nigra). In fact, sambuco has absolutely no connection to the herbs contained in “sambuca”.The Greek word Sambuca was first used as the name of another elderberry liquor that was created in Civitavecchia about 130 years ago.In 1851 the first commercial version of the drink was produced in Civitavecchia by Luigi Manzi that was . He named it Sambuca Manzi, in memory of the “sambuchelli”, or the “acquaioli” ( water and anis sellers) of his native Ischia.

Nastro D’Oro’s Sambuca is made with a blend of ingredients including anise, spices, licorice,
