Averna is a Sicilian amaro from Caltanissetta, made from Mediterranean herbs, roots and spices, pomegranate, and essential oils of bitter orange and lemon. It is bottled at 29% ABV.
The recipe dates to 1859 and commercial production began in 1868. The infusion is blended with pure alcohol, water and sugar, with caramel added for colour, then filtered and rested.
The nose shows roasted coffee beans, bitter orange zest, herbal bark, jasmine, quinine and rosemary. The palate is bittersweet with dark chocolate, candied orange, spices, licorice, gentian, mocha, rosemary, sage and juniper, finishing with molasses cookie, cacao and orange zest.
