Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia

Bepe Tosolino's Amaretto is a real step up from the norm. Made by re-distilling spirit with crushed almonds (rather than the kernel concentrate used in more commercial brands) to recipe only known to the distillers themselves. Bepe Tosolino started his business in Friuli in the years after World War II and his children and grandchildren continue his work to this day.
