Crafted from a traditional Sambuca recipe passed down through generations, Antica combines the most premium, fragrant star anise from China with an exceptionally smooth neutral spirit, sugar and water. Antica Black is the same award-winning Antica Sambuca, but it is delicately infused with rich licorice root. The result is a Sambuca to be enjoyed after dinner, especially in coffee. Antica Black Sambuca is a cherished Italian specialty produced with all-natural flavor infusions and extractions.

Tasting notes

Antica Black has the same traditional but more pronounced and fragrant anise aroma with an added licorice perfume leading to luxuriously rich, silky, sweet flavors with herbal notes on the palate.

Food pairing

Sambuca is traditionally served on its own as a liqueur, with ice or in coffee. To appreciate Antica in its purest form, pour an inch of Sambuca in a snifter and garnish with three espresso beans.
