Chocoholics, take note: here's a digestivo that looks and drinks like rich chocolate syrup. The flavor lands somewhere between milk chocolate and semisweet, and it's like a dessert in itself. Some may find the superthick, palate--coating liqueur too rich for sipping—in which case, pour it over ice cream, affogato style. ... More details

Winery
The Meletti family, through skillful blending, has created a delicious cocoabased liqueur. Meletti Cioccolato was created by Silvio Meletti as a winter drink, intended to be served warm, however fans of Meletti cordials soon discovered Cioccolato’s versatility. It can be used in a variety of drink and food recipes, can be enjoyed hot or cold, and can easily replace dessert. Tasting Notes: Intensely rich, smooth, and chocolately.

Region: Marche

There are few regions in the world which can boast of a wine industry quite as ancient or influential as that of Marche in Italy. For almost three thousand years, vineyards have been cultivated in the central eastern region of Marche, where the Adriatic winds cool the hot vines, and the mineral rich mountainous soil provides plenty of nutrition, helping the grapes reach full ripeness. Marche is most commonly associated with fine white wines, usually made from the exceedingly high quality Trebbiano and Verdicchio grapes which flourish there. However, wineries in Marche are also adept at making exceptional red wines from Montepulciano and Sangiovese, which are increasingly popular with international wine drinkers, and which express the real quality of the terroir they grow on, and the expertise of the wine makers of Marche.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
