Produced entirely from Luxardo cherry juice, it rests in oak for nine months to undergo a natural fermentation into a "cherry wine." It is then fortified, sweetened and bottled. Italian poet/patriot Gabriele d'Annunzio christened this liqueur "Sangue Morlacco" (Morlacco Blood) in honor of the Morlaccos, the fierce warriors of Dalmatia who fought for the Republic of Venice and defended their homeland against the Turks.

Aroma: Pungent, freshly squeezed cherry juice with faint white pepper and marzipan.
Palate: Intense, thick and syrupy with sweetness partially offset by fruit tartness. Very strong flavored – concentrated cherry juice and cherry jam with black pepper spice.
Finish:
