Distillerie Capitoline Cerasa, 750ml

Distillerie Capitoline, a tiny Rome-based micro-distillery, operates out of an equally small (but very cool) cocktail and beer bar. Run by a chef and some serious cocktail nerds, they craft ultra-small batch spirits with an artisanal wine-making approach.

Cerasa is their take on a dry cherry liqueur, built on a base of natural Montepulciano vino rosso from a Tuscan winery friend. Whole Amarena cherries are macerated sous-vide style, then blended and aged in barrels. A beautifully natural vermouth/liqueur that makes an unforgettable Manhattan—no brandied cherries needed!
