I once tasted a delicious liquor a guy from Italy brought to an international student event. He studied in Naples but was living near the other coast, about same latitude. It had tiny wild strawberries inside and eating quite some of them made me quite happy . That's probably why I don't remember the name Anybody can help me out with this? Thanks!

This is called Fragalino, Gerry's in Old Compton St, W1 will stock it.

This is what search on "fragalino" brought me:
"Fresh Brushetta, foccacia and lots of red and white wine. This is my favourite fragalino. Its so light and made locally. "

Ziana, aka Sonia from Alan Partridge, it would bring you that.

M_K,
red and white wine NOT a liquor Mr."know-it-all".

StCirq

I would venture to guess that it's fragOlino, not fragAlino, since the Italian word for strawberry is fragOla.
Maybe that will improve your search.

grilledsardine

it's actually fragolino. with "o's." which might be helpful to know when looking for it especially in italy. i believe it's a specialty of venice.

Fragole Cello - my apologies, I knew it was something along those lines!

StCirq

Yes, a quick search on google reveals that fragolino is indeed a wine that tastes of strawberries and that fragole cello is the liqueur made from fagole del bosco. A recipe if anyone wants to try to make it:

Ziana
