[D] Letterpress Genziana Fernanda Liqueur

Description

Genziana Fernanda was inspired by a trip to Italy when Skip and his wife met up with his mother’s favorite cousin Fernanda. After a typically large and delicious mid-day meal, Fernanda offered them some of the homemade wine-based gentian liqueur that she makes every year. Skip was blown away with the bitter, earthy, and citrusy notes and a seed was planted in his head: he needed to make something like this. Fernanda shared her basic process and skip then developed a recipe around that process and around the luscious viognier that he was able to get from one of his favorite wineries, Lullaby. It is round and fruity and luscious with a complex nutty and citrus notes and the earthy nose and medium bitter finish you would expect from a gentian liqueur.
