Amaro Lucano Liqueur

Amaro Lucano is a distinguished Italian herbal liqueur, meticulously crafted since 1894 in Pisticci, Basilicata. This amaro is composed of a secret blend of over 30 herbs, including artemisia absinthium, salvia sclarea, and gentiana, which are carefully selected from around the globe. The production process involves boiling, maceration, and distillation to extract six aromatic notes, culminating in the addition of a unique ingredient known as "Il Premio," which seals the final quality of the product. The result is a perfectly balanced, bittersweet liqueur with a complex flavor profile that has earned it the moniker "liquor of virtues."

Nose: Enticing aromas of citrus, particularly sweet and bitter orange peels, complemented by floral and herbal undertones.

Palate: A harmonious blend of sweet and bitter flavors, featuring notes of vanilla, orange, coriander, and a subtle hint of spice.

Finish: Smooth and lingering, with a delicate balance of herbal bitterness and sweetness.

Amaro Lucano is traditionally enjoyed neat as a digestif, but its versatile flavor profile also makes it an excellent addition to cocktails. It pairs well with citrus-based desserts, dark chocolate, and savory dishes that incorporate herbs and spices. In mixology, it enhances classic cocktails like the Negroni or can be combined with mezcal for a modern twist.
