A rare green amaro from Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti of Aldeno, near Trento in Italy's alpine north — the family herbalist house founded in the early 1900s by Giuseppe Cappelletti, and still producing everything in-house today under the fourth generation. Built on assenzio (wormwood) as its principal ingredient, complemented by alpine herbs, citrus, and spice — one of the very few pale-green amari, evoking a summer forest in all its verdant splendor.
Palate: Impressive length — complex bitterness intertwined with gentle sweetness and bright herbal notes, in balance throughout.
Serve: Over ice with tonic or soda and a squeeze of lemon; neat over ice; or to add depth and a drying effect to sweeter drinks — it pairs especially well with tequila and mezcal.
ABV: per bottle — see caveat (importer lists 21%)
