Sambuca Extra by Molinari is a classic Italian anise-based liqueur and one of the most recognized products in its category worldwide. Produced according to a traditional recipe developed in 1945, it is based on star anise and a selection of aromatic herbal extracts that give it a clean, intense, and well-balanced anise profile.
The liqueur is crystal clear in appearance, with a full body and a relatively high alcohol content that enhances its structure and aromatic persistence. On the palate, it is smooth yet expressive, combining sweetness with the characteristic freshness and depth of anise.
Sambuca Extra is most commonly enjoyed neat, chilled, or over ice, and traditionally served “con la mosca” with three coffee beans, symbolizing health, happiness, and prosperity. Beyond its role as a digestif, it is also used in cocktails and occasionally in desserts for its pronounced aromatic character.
The product has maintained consistent quality and flavor over decades, reinforcing its position as a benchmark within the traditional Italian sambuca category.
