Description
Che tipo di distillato è
Liquore allo Zafferano by Antica Distilleria Quaglia is a pure Italian spirit from Piedmont with a 30% ABV. Defined entirely by a single botanical, this liqueur offers an authentic and focused profile without the addition of other spices. It displays a naturally intense yellow colour, leading to a persistent and distinctly spicy aromatic bouquet. The palate is structured, delivering a savoury and gently spiced flavour that truly reflects the primary ingredient. This clean, ingredient-led character makes it highly enjoyable as a refined digestif or as a sophisticated addition to cocktails.
Da dove proviene
Produced in Piedmont by the family-owned Antica Distilleria Quaglia, this spirit reflects the expertise of an estate founded in 1890. Now guided by the fourth generation, the distillery crafts its beverages based on historical regional recipes. The essential saffron stigmas are supplied by Il Filo Rosso, a local farm ensuring a short supply chain and rigorous quality control. This direct connection to regional raw materials ensures that the distinct aroma, taste, and visual profile of the liqueur are intimately linked to a specific agricultural landscape and its pure botanical source.
Come viene prodotto
This spirit is created through the slow infusion and maceration of pure saffron stigmas in alcohol. This artisanal method allows for the natural extraction of the spice’s aromatic and chromatic compounds, yielding a deeply coloured liquid without any added colourants. Free from additional spices, the entire profile remains singularly focused on its primary ingredient. This meticulous, time-led approach results in a highly versatile liqueur that pairs beautifully poured over a raspberry sorbet or mixed into a classic Horse’s Neck cocktail. The production methods align perfectly with the estate’s status as a certified organic distillery.
History and Trivia
Founded in 1890 in Piedmont, the family-run Antica Distilleria Quaglia crafts this exquisite spirit according to historical recipes. A fascinating detail is its unique single-spice profile: its vibrant yellow hue and savoury flavour derive entirely from pure saffron, produced through the traditional maceration of stigmas from the local Il Filo Rosso farm. Now managed by the fourth generation, this certified organic distillery preserves its artisanal heritage to deliver an authentic saffron liqueur that perfectly captures regional tradition.
