Amaro Lucano is one of the more versatile Amari out there. It's easy to drink, with just the right amount of complexity to make it interesting. It also shines in most cocktails that call for an amaro. Mint hints you first when you nose this one, followed by some herbal notes and sassafras. On the palate it is thick, almost syrupy, with a touch of gentian and chocolate notes. There is no burn whatsoever on the finish, as it closes sweet but quickly fades. I've had better Amari neat, but the value is very high for this one. Outside of Meletti, it's hard to find sub-$25 bottles of amaro. I have noticed it going up in price in some locations, so maybe the value is starting to dissipate. Either way, it's a solid everyday type amaro that works in cocktails or neat after a large meal.
