Caffo Red Bitter is a classic Italian red bitter aperitivo from Caffo Distilleria Friulia in Udine, Italy — a staple aperitivo for any producer of herbal liqueurs, all at once familiar and distinct. Sweet oranges and bitter Calabrian chinotto oranges, grown and harvested directly from Caffo's own properties, are blended with an infusion of several herbs and spices — most notably juniper, rhubarb, and gentian — on a neutral grain spirit base, naturally colored with cochineal.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Calabrian chinotto orange and dusty gentian.
Palate: More orange and gentian, with cinchona, citrusy juniper, and rosemary.
How to Use: Ideal for a Negroni cocktail or spritz — usable in any recipe calling for a high-quality red bitter.
ABV: 25% (50 Proof)
