“This grappa-based liqueur is a special gift from the Nardini family. It’s the glass we raise to life’s moments: the start of a challenge, a celebration...It was created in the 18th century, when there was extensive poverty and people couldn’t afford to buy grappa. The Nardini distillery was a well-known place to go for a drink. In those days, the products were kept in large copper containers, each of which had a leaking spout. There was a little pan under each copper to collect the extra drops. At the end of the day, the pans were put into a big barrel with the left-over grappa, named Tagliatella - literally, ‘a cut of everything’ - which was offered to the poor. This is why I love it - it’s the working man’s cocktail...”
John Kirwan
A traditional liqueur, fruity and pleasantly bitter-sweet, Tagliatella is the perfect drink for any time of the day.

“My wife’s friend Mimmi recently became our local Mayor. And that’s why I now call her ‘Onorevole’ – ‘Honourable’ – since ‘Hey, Mimmi’ doesn’t seem quite as respectful! She’s elegant, stylish, refined... so it’s only fitting we dedicate this sophisticated aperitif to our favourite mayor. Crafted from the wild citrus fruit that thrive on the shores of pristine Lake Garda, this Acqua di Cedro is limoncello when it dreams – sweet but not cloying, warm yet refreshing… it’s as if Italian sunshine has been squeezed into a bottle. So here’s to Her Worship the Mayor – Onorevole!”
