Bepi Tosolini Fragola Wild Strawberry Liqueur 70cl

Bepi Tosolini's Fragola is hard to miss on the shelf: a round decanter of ruby liqueur with some fifty tiny wild strawberries suspended inside.

The Tosolini family has been distilling at Povoletto, near Udine in Friuli, since 1943, and is best known for grappa. For Fragola, part of the Spezieria range of liqueurs, fragoline di bosco are infused in alcohol and strawberry distillate for at least four months. Expect fresh ripe strawberry and strawberry jam, kept in check by citrus acidity and a peppery grappa spice on the finish.

Top a measure with Prosecco or Champagne for a strawberry take on a Kir Royale, pour it over ice as an aperitivo, or spoon it over vanilla ice cream, berries and all.
