Description

Bonaventura AMARO Erbe e Spezie is a characterful Italian herbal bitter with an alcohol content of 30 per cent, available in a 0.7-litre bottle, which combines the time-honoured art of distillation practised at Distilleria Bonaventura Maschio with the historic variety of spices found in the Veneto region. At its heart lies ‘Prime Uve Nere’, a wood-aged grape brandy with a particularly elegant character, which lends this bottling its unmistakable style. The Amaro was inspired by the era when Venice, as a major trading metropolis, brought spices and aromatics from all over the world to Europe. This history is reflected in a carefully balanced recipe, in which selected herbs and spices blend together to create a harmonious whole. Bonaventura AMARO Erbe e Spezie combines traditional Italian amaro culture with a modern, spicy style and is ideal both as a digestif and for sophisticated cocktail creations.

This premium Amaro owes its distinctive character to the balanced combination of high-quality botanicals and the influence of the matured grape brandy. The interplay of spices, herbs and balsamic nuances creates a pleasantly robust yet harmonious flavour profile with an elegant bitter note. Bonaventura AMARO Erbe e Spezie is therefore aimed at connoisseurs of classic Italian bitter liqueurs who value depth, complexity and artisanal quality.
