Liquore di Lampone by Antica Distilleria Quaglia (Italian Liqueur)

Liquore di Lampone is a traditional raspberry liqueur produced in Piemonte, a region in northern Italy. It is produced using only fresh raspberries, all collected in Piedmont. The product, whose base can only be prepared in the summer since it is relies on fresh fruit, starts with crushing the fresh raspberries and macerating them in an infusion with alcohol, the liquid is drained off using fabrics and the remaining solids are pressed to extract all the possible juices out and give the typical color and flavor to the product. The infusion is then left to rest in steel tanks before being added to a base liqueur of water, alcohol, sugar and spices and finally being bottled.
