Liquore della Sirene Vino Amaro Amarulivo
The word ‘americano’ comes from the French ‘amer’ which means bitter and as with all aperitvi, is meant to whet the palate. This Americano Bianco is made from a base wine of Trebbiano di Lugana (genetically identical to Verdicchio) and shows the variety’s distinctive freshness on the palate. Balanced between citrus, white flowers and the bitterness of the gentian, the finish also shows musk melon and woodsy spice.
The botanicals were infused individually in a neutral grain spirit for 3 weeks with daily stirring. These infusions were then pressed and blended, then water and beet sugar added. Rested briefly and paper filtered. No coloring added, vegan.
Alisa Carta is the mind behind this delicious and beguiling amaro. Alisa is a sommelier and certified olive oil taster as well as a madly passionate botanist - a useful skill when growing and evaluating the herbs, flowers, roots and fruits for creating the flavors of your amaro. A boutique amaro like this one can use anywhere from a handful of flavoring ingredients to over 30. As a curator of this Italian tradition, Alisa is a national gem, having studied and foraged for herbs as a child, guided by her grandmother. Since then she has conducted a long and detailed study of Italian liqueurs and their recipes.
The old fables of mermaids luring sailors onto the rocks with their irresistible siren song could have been written about her breath-taking location on Lake Garda, called the Bay of Sirens (Baia de la Sirene).
