AboutStrega Alberti Benevento
Giuseppe Alberti began producing Liquore Strega in Benevento in 1860, after establishing businesses in coffee and wine. The name draws on the city’s legend of witches gathering around a magical walnut tree. The company’s historic premises stand beside Benevento’s railway station and were rebuilt after Second World War bombing.
Liquore Strega is made with roughly seventy herbs and spices, including Ceylon cinnamon, Florentine iris, Apennine juniper and Sannio mint. Saffron gives it its yellow colour, and the distillate matures in ash barrels.
Liquore Strega
Italian Liqueur
Saffron gives this Italian herbal liqueur its golden colour and a distinctive savoury warmth. Mint and juniper bring freshness, while cinnamon, iris and layered herbs create a fragrant, gently sweet palate with a softly spiced finish. The texture is smooth and composed, allowing the botanicals to unfold without becoming heavy. Serve neat or over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to add herbal depth to a citrus-led cocktail.
Strega Herbal Liqueur 700 mL
Italian Liqueur
Golden and aromatic, opening with saffron, piney juniper and cool mint before cinnamon and licorice bring warmer depth. The palate is sweet yet carefully structured, moving from fresh herbs and spice toward a gently woody, persistent finish. Serve neat, well chilled or over a large cube, or use in a measured pour to add herbal lift to a cocktail; espresso, almond biscuits and citrus desserts are natural companions.
Strega Herbal Liqueur 50 mL
Italian Liqueur
Saffron gives the liqueur its distinctive golden hue, while mint, cinnamon, juniper and licorice shape a layered herbal aroma. The palate is sweet but structured, with cool mint and warm spice moving toward a gently woody, aromatic finish. Serve neat, well chilled or over ice, or use sparingly in a cocktail; it also pairs naturally with espresso, citrus desserts or a simple almond biscuit.
Strega Alberti Amaro
Italian Liqueur
Bitter orange opens a velvety, aromatic amaro, followed by cinchona, gentian and rhubarb. Pine, eucalyptus and citrus sharpen the herbal centre, while honey and caramel provide enough richness to keep the bitterness measured. The palate is complex but composed, moving between cooling herbs, gentle spice and dark sweetness before finishing clean and pleasantly bitter. Serve neat or over ice after dinner, lengthen with soda and orange, or use as the bittersweet herbal element in a stirred cocktail.
