Liquore Pineta is the first liqueur in the world made from hand picked baby pine cones of Pinus Halepensis which is nothing more that a pine tree widely spread on the southern Italian coasts .
The pine cones used for our liqueur are collected in the parc of “Torcito” Cannole (LE).

It belongs to our “wild liqueurs from Salento” line. We decided to put that in production because we were tired of the same local liqueurs such as limoncello, bayleaf, almond, fennel, liquorice and so on… they’re good, but very often far too sweet and with a “flat” taste.
We wanted a different flavour, unusual, but at the same time, we wanted a liqueur, that could recall the flavours of our beautiful land between the Ionian and Adriatic sea by simply drinking it .

What to expect from
Pineta

When you taste Pineta (which litterally means pinewood) you will fully smell and taste the flavours of the pine resin.
Since the first sip it will be intense, persistent, resinous, balsamic, slightly sweet with a touch of astringency in the aftertaste .
So if you can’t go for a walk in a pinewood, close your eyes, and enjoy Pineta, your immagination will do the rest.
