AMARO is made from late harvest wine and wine fortified with barrel aged brandy, herbs (sage, thyme, marjoram, parsley, lemon  verbena, rosemary and mint to name a few), bark, roots, dried orange peel and caramelized simple syrup. Other additives include gentian, angelica, and cinchona bark to name a few. In all, there are forty different botanicals added to make up the blend. The wine has been aged in barrique for a combined 12 years utilizing the solera methodology. It has 23% alcohol and 16% residual sugar.

An amaro made mostly from more than twenty locally grown herbs, roots and flowers, including gentian, artemisia (genepy), and mint, with the addition of bitter botanicals like rhubarb root. The alpine herbs are picked in August, then dried, then infused in pure alcohol together with the other botanicals for about a month. Part of the liquid is then re-distilled, to give the liqueur a more persistent flavor and to clarify color. It’s bottled at 38%, after the addition of spring water and sugar.

Handcrafted with the infusion of wine and selected herbs including olive leaves. Olive trees are widespread on Lake Garda. The cultivation dates back to Roman Times. 

A fusion of Bitter Orange and Gentian, infused with subtle undertones of Angelica, Quassia Wood, and White Cardamom, creating a perfect harmony of aromatic and mildly spicy aromas.

Amaro is an Italian word for bitter, but our Amaro is a much more complex spirit than just bitter. Our Amaro features Prickly Pear, which can be found growing all over Southern California. When sipping our amaro, the prickly pear gives a light, fruity, almost bubble gum flavor at first. That gives way to the Gentian root bitterness from which the spirits name is derived. It then finishes with a savory smokiness from the smoked black cardamom.

A bitter that has already made many consumers fall in love with it.

There are various bittering spices used to create the botanical mix of Bitter Fusetti and none of these have been used by chance, from the classic gentian, rhubarb and cinchona, to the special, quassio.

The bitter orange and the chinotto give the product a pinch of acidity.

A perfect mix of spices that makes it excellent both in classic drinks such as Americano or Negroni or in reinterpretations such as Negroni del Marinaio with amber Vermouth, coffee liqueur and mezcal and, why not, even smooth simply shaken. -Producer's Website

Sugar and spice and everything nice. This chocolate-infused bitter boasts a powerful, toasted coffee kick that livens up whiskey and rum, alike. It’s nutty and peppery but with the ghost of sweetness.

The perfect combination of savory and sweet. Tangerine, lemon and lime comingle with the earthiness of basil to temper their brightness and infuse a honey-ed sweetness. It’s the perfect, modern refresher to the tired Gimlet, giving the cocktail a clarity rather than muddled wateriness.

As for your edible tooth, the options are endless: we love adding by the dropper-full to parmesan biscuits and find it delightful in honey glazes over pound cake.
