Hearty, rustic and full throttle (at 15% alcohol), this is a bottle full of Sicilian fruits and flavors. Figs and dates, raisins and allspice, coffee and dark chocolate whirl through the palate, with the alcohol leaving a distinct trail through the finish. You might consider this in place of a dessert liqueur, served up with stuffed figs, walnuts and the bitterest of chocolate.
