Amaro Lucano NV

ItalyAmaro Lucano was originally created in 1894 by Pasquale Vena, a pastry chef who blended together more than 30 herbs in its creation. The recipe has been handed down through the Vena family to the present day, and is still in use. Fragrant exotic orange, walnut oil, to a lighter, satiny palate with salted almonds, fresh oregano, golden raisin and candied chestnut. Acidity is ringing to a bitter seville orange marmalade finish. Though the recipe is a secret, it has been revealed that wormwood, absinthe gentile, clary sage, achillea moscata, cardo santo, sweet orange, angelica, gentian, elder, rue, and aloe are included.Tasted: 17 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
