Basanotto, Italian liqueur with basil, sage, and chinotto.

Basanotto is a typical Ligurian liqueur born from the infusion of three characteristic Ligurian aromas: Genovese PDO basil, organic sage, and chinotto from Savona (a Slow Food presidium), accompanied by organic lemon peels and organic mint. It has a light green color with bright reflections and an intense, aromatic scent characterized by citrus, herbal, and floral notes. On the palate, it is delicate, velvety, with a balanced contrast between the bitterness of chinotto and the sweetness of the aromatic herbs, finishing with a persistent and pleasant aftertaste. Basanotto is ideal served neat, chilled with ice, or as a base for sophisticated cocktails. It is made with organic wheat alcohol and mineral water from the Fonte Bauda in Calizzano, with an alcohol content of 25% vol. The name “Basanotto” comes from the combination of the initials of basil, sage, and chinotto, symbolizing its territorial origin and unique composition. It is a versatile liqueur also appreciated by bartenders for creative drink preparation.
