AboutGiovanni Bosca Tosti
Giovanni Bosca Tosti is the Canelli company behind Cardamaro, rooted in a Piedmont wine business established in 1820 and carried through generations of the Bosca family. In the 1950s, Rachele Torlasco Bosca began developing Cardamaro’s recipe using cardoon from Nizza Monferrato and wild herbs.
Cardamaro has a wine base, with cardoon and blessed thistle among its botanicals. Separate herbal infusions are combined with wine and sugar, then left to mature for at least six months.
Cardamaro Vino Amaro
Italian Liqueur
Dried herbs, chamomile and citrus peel open a gently bittersweet, wine-based amaro, followed by dried apricot, roasted nuts and warm baking spice. Cardoon and blessed thistle provide the characteristic earthy bitterness, while a Moscato base keeps the texture light and rounded. A short rest in oak adds subtle spice and structure without making the palate heavy. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif, neat after dinner, or alongside salty cheese and charcuterie; refrigerate after opening to preserve its freshness.
