Amaro Lucano
Italian Liqueur
$52.99
Layered and bittersweet, with citrus peel, dried herbs and gentle floral notes over a dark caramel base. Gentian-like bitterness and liquorice sweetness meet spearmint, warm spice, nuts and subtle fruit, creating a broad palate that remains balanced rather than syrupy. More than thirty herbs contribute complexity, while the finish is long, cooling and softly bitter. Serve neat, over ice with orange peel, or use in a spritz and other cocktails that benefit from a measured herbal depth.
Amaro Lucano Anniversario
Italian Liqueur
$74.99
Intense and deeply herbal, with wormwood, gentian and holy thistle giving the nose a firm bitter structure. A careful blend of more than thirty herbs builds aromatic breadth, moving through roots, dry spice and a restrained underlying sweetness. The palate is concentrated but composed, with the bitterness gaining definition rather than heaviness as it develops. A long, warming finish leaves persistent herbs and gentle spice. Serve neat, chilled or over ice, with orange peel if desired.
