In the Glass
Appearance
Brilliant, crystal clear.
Aromatics
The nose is rather subtle, like white chocolate, with scents of vanilla cream with accents of roasted cocoa nibs.
Flavor
The palate perfectly mirrors the nose delivering a rich vanilla and chocolate cream that starts sweet and builds in cocoa intensity that becomes subtly drier.
Intensity & Texture
Medium-bodied with incredible viscosity coating every corner of your mouth.

Cool Factor
Any food or drink that can make me feel that I am standing in Rome for a moment is Grade-A cool.

Value Grade
At just over $20 a bottle it's worth every penny and then some as there is nothing else like this.

Analysis
These wonderfully authentic Liqueurs were actually discovered in Rome. Since 1985, Francescano Natura Assisi offered its signature Limoncello to crowds of tourists visiting Rome. Years later their innovative line of Liqueurs followed. White chocolate is a hard flavor to achieve in a Liqueur. Most are one-dimensional and overly sweet while this fine example is rather complex and very pleasing offering layers of flavor with the perfect touch of sweetness.

How to Enjoy
Sip it chilled neat or over ice. It's also great in in any coffee drink.
