Luxardos second historical speciality after Maraschino Originale. It is a liqueur of marasca cherries (a sour cherry variety exclusively cultivated by Luxardo) - a variant of cherry brandy. It is obtained by the infusion of fermented marasca juice, matured for two years in oak vats. Luxardo cherry liqueur was renamed with the curious name of Sangue Morlacco (Morlacco blood) by the poet Gabriele DAnnunzio in 1919, at the time of the Fiume military expedition, due to its dark red colour (furthermore, the name Morlacco is derived from the name of a proud people of the Dalmatian hinterland).. An elegantly rich nose of dark stewed cherries leads directly into a devilishly decadent, unmistakable flavor of maraschino. A full bodied mouthfeel enhances the experience on the palate, with sweetness rounding the alcoholic heat and spice in a fine-tuned package. A classic.. Colour: dark redAroma: intense, inebriating perfume of marascaTaste: good body, very rounded on the palate.Quite different from normal cherry-brandies, both through the intensity of the cherrys typical taste (here decidedly enhanced), and through the surprising expansion of the after-taste, which makes it priceless when combined with pure chocolate.
