Bepi Tosolini Exprè is an Italian espresso liqueur — rich, all-natural and built on genuine roasted coffee — and it is poured at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Made by the Tosolini family in Friuli, the same northeastern Italian region renowned for fine distillates, it captures the aroma of a freshly pulled espresso in liqueur form. We list it for its honest, additive-free character and the way it brings a true taste of Italy to the close of a meal.

About the Producer

The Bepi Tosolini distillery was founded by Bepi Tosolini in 1943 in Friuli, in the northeast of Italy, first earning its name as a grappa producer. Now run by the third generation of the family, Giuseppe, Bruno and Lisa, the house is known for craftsmanship and a commitment to natural production. That same family philosophy carries into Exprè, their tribute to one of Italy’s other great daily rituals: coffee.

Style & Production

Exprè is a coffee liqueur made from traditionally roasted arabica coffee beans, and the producer is emphatic that it is completely natural — without artificial flavorings, colorings or additives. The roasted beans give it a genuine espresso aroma layered with chocolate, vanilla and caramel notes. The result is a rounded, true-to-the-cup liqueur that tastes of real coffee rather than synthetic sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Expect the unmistakable aroma of espresso, pleasantly toasted, with delicate notes of chocolate, vanilla and caramel. The palate is smooth and rounded, the coffee character genuine and warming, with a gentle sweetness kept in check. The finish is persistent and softly toasty, lingering like the last sip of a good Italian coffee.
