Liquore di finocchietto

Finocchietto

Liquore finocchietto (wild fennel) has a light yellow color and a 30° gradation. It’s mostly appreciated for its digestive effect, so much so that is not only home made , but it has been commercialized by local artisan laboratories that sell it in many different shaped bottles. It’s made by marinating wild fennel seeds in alcohol for 15 – 20 days and added to a syrup made of water and sugar. It doesn’t need to rest, but can be bottled and consumed immediately, preferably cold.
