Clandestino Amaro (50cl)

Clandestino Amaro is an Italian amaro from Mistico Speziale, a producer based in Roncadella in Emilia Romagna. It is made by macerating more than 25 botanicals in a soft grain spirit and spring water, and it is left unfiltered for a more intense, lasting aroma on the palate. Bitter notes from wormwood, rhubarb, juniper, angelica and helichrysum meet herbal sage, lemon balm, citron, hyssop and mint. Bergamot, lemon, orange and mandarin add citrus, while cardamom, cinnamon, coffee and nutmeg bring balsamic spice. Most of the botanicals are grown on land beside the workshop. The aroma is mainly herbal, moving from balsamic to citrus, with a spiced finish. It suits after dinner, or in place of vermouth in a Negroni.
