Santa Maria Al Monte Amaro

Amaro produced by Gruppo Caffo in Taranto, Italy

Over thirty botanicals featuring gentian, bitter orange, aloe, saffron, cardamom, coriander, juniper, and mountain germander (herb native to the Alps)

Botanicals are grouped together according to recipe and cold-macerated in alcohol for two months

After blending, the infusion is aged for 8 months in oak barrels before sugar beet sugar and additional alcohol are added

The spirit is aged for an additional 6 months in oak before finally being filtered and bottled

A nose of mint and fresh green cardamom with a hint of sfumato leads to a palate with pleasant lift, featuring orange peel, delicate rhubarb root, dry kola nut, and a lingering but pleasant bitterness on the finish

40% ABV

Enjoy this classic Italian amaro neat, in a Caffè corretto, or poured over ice cream as any Italian café patron in the know might do on a warm day.
