Rabarbaro Zucca is a timeless classic of the Milanese aperitivo, renowned for its unmistakable bittersweet profile. It stands out for its use of rhubarb roots, which give the liqueur an intense brown color and a pleasantly smoky, vegetal aroma. On the palate, the entry is smooth and sweet, but quickly evolves toward a persistent bitter freshness, enriched by notes of spices and citrus. With a light alcohol content of 16%, it is extremely versatile: perfect enjoyed neat, with ice and soda, or as a distinctive ingredient to reinterpret great mixology classics.

Ingredients

Water, sugar, alcohol, infusion of rhubarb root (at least 5%), aromatic herb infusions, caramel (E150b).

History

The history of Zucca began in Milan in 1845, when Ettore Zucca discovered the extraordinary properties of rhubarb root, creating an elixir that quickly became a favorite of the nobility and patrons of the most elegant cafés. A symbol of Italian liqueur tradition and a witness to Milanese elegance, the brand is now part of the Illva Saronno Group, keeping the original secret recipe intact. Zucca continues to represent a style icon, blending the herbal wisdom of the past with contemporary trends in mixed drinks.
