Anice Stellato

The word Scuppoz in the dialect of Valle Castellana in Abruzzo was used to indicate the shot glass in the act of celebrating and toasting, then fell into disuse until the entrepreneur Benito Cicconi reused it as a name for his artisan liqueurs in the years’ 70. The Scuppoz company was officially born in 1982 in a small warehouse in Valle Castellana, where it was produced and sold in retail. Adriano, son of Benito, took the reins of the company in the wake of the development of the sector, began to produce Genziana and started a process of unstoppable growth. Today, together with his family, in the third generation, he continues the production of experimental liqueurs and infusions respecting and enhancing ancient artisan recipes. The Scuppoz company has become a large family in which each employee is an active part of a noble project that hands down the many facets of a region like Abruzzo.

Star Anise is a liqueur produced in a limited series, selecting the best elderberry seeds and aniseed which will then be carefully distilled, mixed with a syrup based on water and sugar. The production is only twice a year to ensure the highest quality of the liqueur. In the mouth it is sweet and delicate, ideal smooth or as a coffee concealer.
