LUXARDO APRICOT LIQUEUR
Luxardo Apricot has been produced by the Luxardo family since 1935 when the city of Rome organised a competition amongst Italian spirits producers, looking for a new liqueur which should represent the capital city. Luxardo Apricot won the first prize and was awarded with
the title “Liquore della Lupa” (Liqueur of the Roman she-wolf), now its trademark.
