AMARI / FERNET / APERITIVO

CARDAMARO ITALY The one and only amaro based on wine and Nizza Monferrato Cardoon. Recreated from the ancient recipe from the Bosca Family. Cardamaro Vino Amaro 34PF / 750ML Producer Giovanni Bosca uses estate wine as the base for his Amari. After infusing the wine and other botanicals with cardoon and blessed thistle, the distillate rests in new oak for at least six months. 34 proof, low for typical Amari, and less bitter than many with a smooth, nutty, candied winter spice quality to it. Cardamaro is one of the most unique and interesting Amari available. An absolutely fantastic price for a high quality, delicious Amari and a perfect gateway into the world of Italian bitters. 91pts Excellent Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016 WDELL’ALPE ITALY, VENETO Master distiller Alessandro Maschio uses the pot stills from the original distillery to carry out the very recipes and techniques that have been used for three quarters of a century at Distilleria dell’Alpe. Alessandro’s son, Francesco—the 3rd generation to work at the distilleria—is currently in charge of operations.

Distilleria Dell Alpe Amaro Cansiglio 50PF / 700 ML A classic Italian liquor, Amaro also means bitter in Italian and is traditionally a sweetened spirit flavored with bitter ingredients.

Serve neat or on ice. Distilleria Dell Alpe Kapriol 76PF / 700 ML Commonly known as a Distillato del Bosco, or distillate of the forest, this juniper berry-based herbal liqueur was produced with local ingredients and infused with herbs and sugar using a long and complex distillation process. In 2002, the historic recipe was revived using the same ingredients and techniques, resulting in a distinctive liquor that can be used in a variety of ways - neat, chilled or in cocktails. Distilleria Dell Alpe Rosen Bitter 50.8PF / 1000 ML A liquore of the finest Venetian tradition, it is produced by infusing mountain herbs and berries from the Cansiglio forest of the Italian Alps. The infusion takes place in dedicated vessels and lasts for approximately 20 days. Some essences like mountain rose and bay tree are gained by distillation to achieve deeper aromatic intensity. At the end of the process, both infusions and distillates are blended and left to rest for at least 20 days before bottling. This extensive process yields an intense, yet harmonious flavor profile.
