Yesterday I’ve opened a bottle that was waiting for me for a while.
Visciolata del cardinale is an alcoholic beverage of medium strength (14% vol.) made out of wine, visciole (Prunus cerasus) and sugar.
The scent recalls the german kirschwasser with a clear mark of cherry.
The taste is fruity and astringent.
The sourness of the visciole is strong yet balanced by the sugar.
It’s a great conclusion for a good dinner.
I discovered the visciolata during the summer holiday when I visited the grotte di Frasassi and the surroundings.
While the visit to the caves is great in itself I find always nice to have something good to bring home.

I entirely agree with your comments. Visciolata is a unique dessert wine both sweet and sour both cherry and grape. My company Supercherry is the exclusive UK importer.

It’s a bit too much of advertising for my general taste, but people in UK may find the information about the availability in their country interesting.
