Amaro Nonino
Amaro Nonino
ITALY (AVB 35%) 700ml
A bittersweet liqueur based on aged grappa infused with roots & herbs according to a Nonino family recipe that includes Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris), Quinine Bark (Chinchona Succirubra), Gentian root (Gentiana Lutea) and Wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium).
Amaro Nonino has an earthy nose with notes of bitter-orange and cinnamon. Followed by a hint of burnt caramel coming through at the end. The palate has that “grown-up” bitter-sweet taste; achieved by the addition of sugar, so as to balance the bitterness of the botanicals. The fact that the base is an aged grape-distillate gives the drink added weight and complexity. The finish lasts for several minutes after the last drop has gone and leaves you wanting more.
