Tosolini Amaro Liquore d’Herbe is a traditional Italian Amaro, a Liquore d’Herbe or Bitters. Amaro (which means “bitter” in Italian) is a type of Italian herbal liqueur usually consumed after a meal as a digestif.
Located at the foot of the eastern Friulian hills, Tosolini’s modern facility maintains its original installations and ensures the authenticity of its product. The art inspired by Bepi Tosolini lives on in his successors, now third-generation distillers. His son Giovanni, along with his grandchildren Giuseppe, Bruno and Lisa, now carry on the Tosolini legacy. Together, they strive to keep the craftsmanship and excellence of Master Bepi alive through a relentless pursuit of quality and purity. They are most famous as grappa producers but produce various Italian spirits too.
Amaro Tosolini was created in 1918 nad has a unique flavour and character due to secret blend of 15 different herbs, roots and spices. The botanicals include angelica, bitter orange, gentian, star anise, cloves, sea wormwood, lemon balm, mint, ginger and wormwood. These are macerated in pure grape brandy which has been aged for 4 months in ash barrels. After maceration the liqueur is reduced down in strength with pure water from the Fruilian Alps and is then aged for a further 12 months in the distillery before it is release to market. No artificial colourings or flavourings are added. Bottled at 30% ABV.
A long infusion reveals a complex, balanced and rounded aroma flavour with a bitter orange aftertaste and a sweet spice finish.
Pefect chilled or with ice, as a traditional aperitif or for fresh summer cocktails such as “Spritz Med”.
