La Italian gastronomy It is unique and thanks to the migratory currents that reached America, it has gone around the world and has been present in the daily dishes of many countries, including United States, Argentina, Uruguay and many others. Italian gastronomy is not only synonymous with pasta, of course, since typically Italian drinks also have their own paragraph in Italian culinary history.

Italy has a wide variety of wines: reds, rosés, whites, with a strong grape flavor, with hints of fruit and even champagnes that are on a par with French sparkling wines. For example, we have the Brunillo di Montalcino, the Chianti or the Marsaka, just to name a few.

But there are other Italian drinks that have become famous and that are not only drunk but are used to make many sweet dishes. For example, him Limoncello It is a typical product of Campania and is made with fresh lemons grown on the beautiful Amalfi coast in the Gulf of Naples. Lemons are macerated in alcohol and it is usually taken either very cold or at room temperature, but with a little lemon ice cream it is exquisite.

amaretto

Another typical drink is amaretto, a drink with apricot, aromatic fruits such as peach, cherry and vanilla, caramelized sugar, essence of different plants and the bitter taste of almonds. Amaretto has an alcohol content of 25 degrees and is originally from Saronno, a small town near Milan. And what about Italian coffee?

Well, he's also famous, of course. We have the cappuccino and espresso, world famous. The second is made with an espresso machine, it is fast and has a concentrated flavor, the best. And the first is made with expresso coffee and milk, forming part of the typical Italian breakfast. You cannot miss them on your holidays in Italy.
