Anicione Casoni: success in a bottle
The Anicione Casoni is the symbol of the success of the distillery and its history. The history and traditions of Modena in the distillation of dried anise-based liqueurs are indisputable proof that the Anicione Casoni recipe is one of the most ancient and is the same one which is still today fully honoured in its production. Ideal in coffee or as a special ingredient for countless cocktails, the full alcoholic strength of the liqueur is achieved solely by means of a particular way of distilling green anise and star anise using the discontinuous method that guarantees a dry distilled spirit of exceptional purity.
Since 1814, the Anicione, considered the cornerstone of Casoni's success, has won a large number of medal awards in national and international exhibitions, acclamations and special mentions — all proof positive of its firmly established quality. 'Anice' distilled spirit, the production method of which is a closely guarded secret, is a particularly dry liqueur yielded by the infusion of aniseed and 100% pure alcohol. It has digestive, invigorating and energy-giving properties and, according to the local tradition of Finale Emilia, a small glass of Anicione pairs perfectly with a slice of Sfogliata (Italian Flaky Flatbread) or Torta degli Ebrei (Jewish Cake), otherwise known in the dialect of Finale as "tibùia".
