Description
Master Distiller, Elio Carta employs a selection of Sardinian flora cultivated in his father's garden. St John's Wort, Santolina, Thyme, Mugwort (Artemisia) and rare Sardinian Corbezzolo honey are just some of the botanicals that go into this deep sienna-coloured liqueur. Citrus peel, menthol, gentian, bitter herb, cocoa and baking spices are suggested on the nose, then echoed on the palate. By Amaro standards, this is robust; Medium to full-bodied flavours of bittersweet herbs and dried fruits are rounded off in a complex medley of peppermint tea, citrus zest, pepper, potpourri and warming alcohol. Others will note even more. Serve after dinner with a cube of ice. 33% Alc./Vol.
