Enrico Toro Amaro Toro 72 alla Centerba (70cl, 72%)

An Italian amaro at 72% vol, made with centerba, an herb that grows wild in the Apennine mountains and is picked by hand. The recipe goes back hundreds of years to the herbalists of Abruzzo. It opens with a strong wave of aromatic herbs, with centerba leading through balsamic and slightly spicy notes. Mint, anise and mountain roots follow, leading to a long, persistent finish that cleanses the palate. It suits drinking neat, either cold or at room temperature, after a meal, and also works in bold cocktails.
