Are you an adventurous drinker?
Legendary Melbourne providore Enoteca Sileno may have closed its doors, but it is still active online with a wide range of esoteric drinks on offer.
There has been a resurgence in interest in old-world spirits, particularly from mixologists, from amaro to pastis and beyond.
Enoteca Sileno closed its retail store this year after 70 years, but the online store is still stocked with an array of authentic Italian food and beverage products, including wines and spirits.
Owners Rosemary and John Portelli’s have selected some of their favourite winter spirits and aperitifs - from liquorice and chocolate liqueurs to herbaceous amari perfect for negronis.
Their products can be delivered Australia-wide with free delivery to major metro regions for orders over $250.
Their choices include Bepi Tosolini Amaretto Salizà ($105) - made with whole almonds - and its sibling the Bepi Tosolini Brandy Riserva Fogolar ($137.60), distilled from red wines with ancient steam stills.
Other family favourites include Clementi China Antico Elixir ($118), a bittersweet digestive from Tuscany, and Infusi dall'Eremo Ghentiane ($65.40) a herbal tonic from a co-op based near L’Aquila using medieval recipes created by local monks.
Then there is Infusi dall'Eremo Saffron Liqueur ($49.80): a liqueur made from a cold infusion of saffron, which is rich in antioxidants, and for the sweet tooths, Vincenzi Bicerin di Gianduiotto Chocolate Liqueur ($85).
