Amaro Camatti is an Italian herbal liqueur from Genoa, with a tradition dating back to 1924, born from a blend of pharmaceutical expertise and a passion for local flavors. It is distilled according to a family recipe at the Sangallo Distillery, using a meticulous process of infusing and macerating flowers, roots, and aromatic herbs in neutral alcohol, then sweetened with beet syrup and bottled after gradual decanting.
Aromatically, it is highly complex - on the nose, almond, mint, and bitter orange dominate, supported by notes of quinine and gentian, with warm hints of ginger, mixed baking spices, menthol, and black cherry. On the palate, it offers a rich, juicy profile with a spiced cola base (cinnamon, vanilla) and finishes with the pleasant bitterness of gentian and the freshness of mint.
With a moderate 20-30% ABV, Amaro Camatti strikes the perfect balance between aperitif and digestif. It feels fresh, with a refreshing citrus touch and the lightness of a Mediterranean style, making it ideal served chilled, with sparkling water, or as an addition to cocktails such as spritz, Negroni, or Paper Plane.
