Molinari Sambuca Extra is the definitive expression of Italy's most famous anise-flavored liqueur. Its crystal-clear appearance belies a rich, aromatic intensity that defines the category.

Production

This premium liqueur is crafted through the steam distillation of star anise seeds combined with a secret blend of herbs and spices. High-quality sugar and pure alcohol ensure its signature "Extra" density and legendary clarity.

Taste Profile

The nose is dominated by pungent star anise and sweet licorice with a hint of wild herbs. On the palate, it is velvety and syrupy, offering deep spice notes and a bright citrus peel finish.

Origin & Heritage

Founded by Angelo Molinari in 1945 in Civitavecchia, it remains the only sambuca permitted by Italian law to use the term "Extra." It stands as a global symbol of Italian distilling excellence and family tradition.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy it neat "con la mosca"—with three coffee beans—to enhance its herbal complexity. It is also exceptional served chilled over ice or as a traditional addition to espresso.
