Amaro Alpino boasts a unique body and aroma, richly structured and complex, yet perfectly round and balanced. Its deep color combines dark brown tones with luminous amber highlights. On the palate, it’s smooth, warm, and embracing, marrying delicate sweetness with distinctly bitter notes. Thanks to its exceptional flavor profile, it’s also ideal for crafting exquisite cocktails.
Amaro means “bitter“ in Italian, and the plural form is Amari. Amari are bittersweet liqueurs, usually known for their herbal & citrus notes; the style of spirit originated in Italy.
Bitter liqueurs are also produced elsewhere in the world, such as Kraüterlikör in Germany, and similar spirits found in Hungary, France, and elsewhere around the globe.
The bitterness of an amaro can come from almost any bitter source! A variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs have all been used to give different amari their bitter notes. These range from bitter herbs like gentian root, wormwood, or cinchona bark, to other bitter plants, leaves & fruit, such as cape aloe and Turkish rhubarb root.
