Distillerie Caffo, Vecchio Amaro del Capo 750 mL

Vecchio Amaro del Capo is the flagship amaro of the Fratelli Caffo Distillery in Limbadi, Italy. Distilled from sugar beets then macerated with 29 Calabrian herbs, spices, roots, fruits, and flowers, this digestivo amaro encapsulates the flora of the region. Botanicals include both sweet and bitter oranges, tangerines, chamomile, juniper, licorice, anise, mint, and hyssop. All botanicals are harvested at peak ripeness and maturity then immediately macerated to capture the truest expression of each ingredient. Aromas of Mandarin orange peel, mint, anise, and cinnamon bark prime the palate for complementary flavors of bitter orange, clove, licorice, and spicy juniper. Tangerine, chamomile, and allspice linger prominently on an ever-shifting finish. Traditionally served chilled to cut through the Calabrian heat, enjoy this botanically complex amaro cold, at room temperature, or in cocktails, and observe how the expression changes and develops as its herbal aromatics give way to warm fruit with balanced acidity. 35% ABV.
