Santa Maria Amaro Al Monte Amaro

There is no tiptoeing around this Amaro, it’s large and in charge, all the way down to the one-liter bottle and 40% abv. The recipe dates back to 1892 and the maceration consists of 36 herbs.  Bark, roots, rhubarb, chichona, gentian and bitter orange. There is some heat on the nose that disappears on the palate. A lot of depth, with tannins lingering extensively, blurring the line between Fernet and Amaro.
