In response to the consumer demand for sophisticated, sweet-savory dessert flavors, Stella Rosa launched two new cream liqueurs: Pistachio and Salted Caramel. These new dessert beverages join the brand's Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur, and glean from data that says consumers crave nuanced gourmet notes during the holidays and beyond.
Both new Italian imports are standard 17% ABV and are crafted in small batches with premium ingredients like Dutch dairy cream. Stella Rosa Salted Caramel Cream Liqueur balances rich and buttery notes with a touch of sea salt, while Stella Rosa Pistachio Cream Liqueur taps into one of the most in-demand flavors of the year, beloved for its smooth, nutty aroma and flavor. "Our new cream liqueur collection embodies 'dessert in a glass,'" says President & CEO of Riboli Family Wines, Steve Riboli."
