Ramazzotti Sambuca is a classic Italian anise liqueur — elegant, aromatic, and steeped in centuries of herbal expertise. Produced in Milan by the historic Casa Ramazzotti, it embodies the quintessential Italian after-dinner spirit: smooth, sweet, and richly perfumed with star anise and delicate botanicals.
Renowned for its refined flavour and crystalline purity, Ramazzotti Sambuca offers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Whether served neat with coffee beans, flambéed, or as a cocktail ingredient, it delivers authentic Italian sophistication and warmth in every sip.
Founded in 1815 by Auspicio Ramazzotti, Casa Ramazzotti is one of Italy’s oldest and most respected liqueur houses. Originally known for its iconic Amaro Ramazzotti, the brand expanded into other traditional Italian liqueurs — each crafted with the same attention to quality and authenticity.
Now part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio, Ramazzotti continues to be produced in Italy, using time-honoured distillation techniques and natural botanicals. Ramazzotti Sambuca stands as a testament to the brand’s enduring legacy of Italian craftsmanship, balance, and aromatic excellence.
