More on Fior D' Alpe

June, since your twig is the real thing, it must be old! I don't know why the name is slightly different but sure sounds similar to what you have. I see that the bottling proof of yours is even higher! This is from an internet glossary of wines and spirits.

Fior D'Alpe: Made in northern Italy, this is packaged with a twig in the bottle, upon which excess sugar crystallizes. Traditionally, a real twig was used, but today it is likely to be made of plastic. The liqueur is fairly sweet and features herbal and mint flavors. Bottling proof is high, up to 92o.
