Cappelletti's Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro is a distinctive Italian liqueur that harmoniously blends smoky, bitter, and sweet flavors. Crafted using a unique variety of Chinese rhubarb cultivated in the Trentino-Alto Adige region, this amaro offers a complex profile with notes of bitter alpine herbs, dark smokiness, and hints of sweet alpine berries. The term "Sfumato" derives from the Italian word for smoke, "fumo," reflecting its subtle smoky character. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 20%, it serves as an excellent digestif when enjoyed neat or on the rocks and adds depth to cocktails when paired with tonic, soda, or spirits like gin or whiskey.
