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

The Italian wine region of Marche is amongst the most important and fascinating to be found in the country, with a history which stretches back almost three thousand years and has seen civilizations rise and fall around its plentiful vineyards. Indeed, the Pheonicians, the Romans and the Lombards all cultivated vines in Marche, and used the high quality, mineral rich soils and brisk Adriatic climate to their full potential, producing grapes of exceptional ripeness and quality. Today, Marche has over sixty thousand acres under vine, and is a region most readily associated with superb white wines made from Trebbiano and Verdicchio varietal grapes, both prized for their crisp dryness and distinctive herbaceous notes. The region is also home to many superb red wines, spread across wineries in its many DOC and DOCG titled appellations.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
