Artisan Amaro with Orange Peels

The artisanal amaro with gentian, thistle, orange peel and juniper berries is a complex and refined drink, which skilfully blends tradition of aromatic herbs with citrus and balsamic notes. Its strong and balanced character makes it a perfect liqueur for those who love intense and structured flavours, where bitterness harmonises with freshness and aromatic depth. Thanks to the combination of selected botanicals, it offers an intense and enveloping taste experience, perfect to be savored slowly to grasp every nuance.

Characteristics

At sight, it presents a rich and intense colour, varying between dark golden and deep brown, with warm reflections that underline its complexity. The scent is complex and deep: the gentian and the thistle emerge with their earthy and bitter notes, while the orange peels give a citrus freshness that softens the character of the liqueur. The juniper berries, with their resinous and balsamic aroma, complete the bouquet, adding a spicy and enveloping note.

On the palate, the amaro opens with a decisive but balanced bitterness, in which the gentian and the thistle give body and structure. The orange peels offer a fresh and slightly sweet contrast, while the juniper berries offer a balsamic nuance that further enriches the drink. The alcohol content is well integrated, accompanying the herbs and citrus fruits in a harmonious and persistent sip. The finish is long and aromatic, with a pleasant bitter trail that mixes with the freshness of juniper and citrus fruits, leaving a sensation of cleanliness and depth.

Pairings

This artisanal bitter is perfect to taste neat or with ice, as a digestive after a meal, to better appreciate its aromatic complexity. It also lends itself to mixology, as a base for sophisticated cocktails, in particular for reinterpretations of classics such as the Negroni, the Americano or the Boulevardier, enhancing their herbaceous and spicy notes.

It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, desserts based on citrus fruits or dried fruit, and mature cheeses with an intense flavour, such as pecorino, gorgonzola or aged parmesan. For a bolder experience, it can also accompany dishes with a strong aromatic profile, such as smoked meats or spicy tartare.
