LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The pinnacle of orange liqueurs. More complex than Cointreau and more refined than Orange Curaçao.

The Library Note

Produced in Pescara since 1925, its name—meaning 'gold' and 'orange'—perfectly describes its radiant hue. It is an essential part of Abruzzese dessert culture, famously paired with Parrozzo cake and praised by poets for its evocative, citrusy warmth.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Bright orange zest, honeyed brandy, and a faint, earthy hint of saffron.

THE PALATE

Hefty and sweet with a rich fruit intensity and a complex, herbal backbone from the saffron.

THE FINISH

Warm and lingering with a sophisticated citrus oils aftertaste.
