Amaro Nonino Quintessentia
"Quintessentia" represents the perfect tweak of a family amaro recipe that's been passed down through generations. The base of the liqueur is the distillery's own grappa matured in various European oak casks.
This spirit is then infused with an undisclosed blend of herbs and botanicals. .

AmaroAmaro means “bitter” in Italian. No legal definition exists, and though it originated in Italy, amaro (plural: amari) can be made anywhere. Originally created to aid in digestion, it is a bittersweet liqueur made from the maceration or distillation (or combination) of herbs, spices, roots, flowers, or other botanicals. Often uses neutral spirit as the base, but other liquor or wine can be used. Can be aged. Sugar is added before bottling. ABV varies, but tends to be 20-40%.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is reminiscent of roasted chestnuts, cappucino, orange zest and strawberries. This amaro is on the less bitter side of the spectrum, with notes of milk chocolate, orange, fennel, coffee, prunes, dates, subtle florals, and sandalwood. The slight bitterness comes in toward the finish, but is offset by fruits and spice, making this liqueur quite versatile to easily sip neat or use in a variety of cocktails. "
