Description
The *Amaro* from Fratelli Gancia is a richly aromatic Italian herbal liqueur, crafted by one of Piedmont’s most historic drinks producers. Known primarily for their vermouths and sparkling wines, the Gancia family has applied the same precision and tradition to this *amaro*, creating a bittersweet, complex, and deeply satisfying expression designed for both aperitivo and digestivo moments.
In the glass, it shows a deep mahogany-brown colour with warm ruby glints, suggesting richness and intensity. The nose is layered and enticing, with aromas of dried orange peel, caramelised sugar, and warm spices such as cinnamon and clove, all supported by a core of bitter alpine herbs, gentian root, and subtle floral tones.
On the palate, Fratelli Gancia’s *Amaro* is smooth, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced between sweet and bitter elements. Notes of candied citrus, honey, and vanilla are quickly followed by herbal depth from wormwood, gentian, and rhubarb root. Hints of cocoa, liquorice, and coffee emerge mid-palate, leading into a long, warming finish with lingering spice and herbal freshness.
Perfect enjoyed neat at cellar temperature, over ice with a slice of orange, or topped with soda for a lighter aperitivo serve, it also pairs well with dark chocolate or aged cheeses. Fratelli Gancia’s *Amaro* is more than just a liqueur—it is a refined expression of Italian herbal craftsmanship, offering both historical pedigree and timeless drinking pleasure.
