Bottega Nero is a dessert-style liqueur built around an intense dark chocolate profile, finished with a distinctive touch of Veneto grappa for added depth and character. The style is smooth, rich and indulgent—more “liquid dark chocolate” than a sharp spirit—yet the grappa adds a subtle backbone that keeps the sweetness in check. It pours a deep chocolate-brown colour and opens with bold chocolate aromas, with a slightly bitter cocoa nuance for balance.
On the palate it’s soft and luscious, with a full cocoa-driven core and a rounded sweetness. The grappa contributes gentle warmth and aromatic lift, preventing it from feeling one-dimensional. The finish lingers with chocolate and cocoa, ending smooth and inviting.
Best enjoyed well chilled, Bottega Nero works brilliantly as an after-dinner pour and as a dessert companion—over ice cream, alongside panna cotta, or as a chocolate element in cocktails. Despite its creamy mouthfeel, it contains no milk. Bottled at 15% ABV.
