A special edition of the classic CioCiaro amaro from Paolucci of Lazio — the house whose amaro tradition dates to 1873 — released to reflect the modern palate with a more pronounced gentian root bitterness. Rich but balanced: orange zest, gentian root, licorice, and a blend of herbal botanicals, less overtly orangey than the original, with a wonderful earthiness that makes it a great candidate for both sipping and cocktailing. Hello, Black Manhattan.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Orange zest, gentian, and licorice over herbal depth.
Palate: Rich and balanced — pronounced gentian bitterness with earthy herbal complexity.
Finish: Bittersweet and lingering.
ABV: 30% (60 Proof) • Special edition with pronounced gentian bitterness • Paolucci, est. 1873 • 700ML
