Stella Rosa Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur
17% ABV (34 proof) | 750mL | Cream liqueur | Chocolate + toasted hazelnut + vanilla | Northern Italy — the Stella Rosa Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Liqueur is Italy's answer to dessert in a glass: a cream-based liqueur (not wine-based — don't confuse it with Stella Rosa's wines) layering chocolate, toasted hazelnut and vanilla at a gentle 17% ABV. From the Riboli family's Stella Rosa line in Northern Italy — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Stella Rosa made its name on semi-sweet Italian wines; the cream liqueur line takes the brand into after-dinner territory. Chocolate-hazelnut is the classic Italian pairing — gianduia country — and this bottle leans into it: real cream, real dessert character, built for sipping rather than mixing. Among cream liqueurs, it is the one that tastes like the candy aisle grew up.
Tasting notes
Official stellarosa.com notes: milk chocolate and toasted hazelnut up front, vanilla cream through the middle, a smooth, sweet, dessert-like finish. At 17% ABV it is rich but not heavy — serve well chilled and it drinks like liquid gianduia. No independent critic notes were confirmed — describe from official brand copy only.
