oming from the island of Ischia's one and only liqueur factory. Dating back to 1880, it is the Savastano family's true love. Rucolino is made from two types of rucola (yes, that's rocket! Like you use in salad!) that grows on Ischia and the Pontine archipelago. The first type, riccia, is characterized by narrow leaves and vivacious, piquant flavors with decidedly bitterish undertones while the second is called vellutata, with broad leaves and softer, smoother flavors. The leaves, along with citrus peel, herbs, and roots are infused in alcohol to macerate for forty days before being filtered and mixed with water and sugar.
Rucolino recalls notes of citrus fruit, cedar, and subtle caramel. The palate is lively and pleasingly bitter.
Best served cold from the freezer or over ice without garnish.
Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
