From the Varnelli’s long herbal experience this intriguing amaro derives from a decoction of selected botanicals over a wood fire and is sweetened with honey.
It is unfiltered and does not contain colorings or flavorings.
Tobacco colour with brick red shades, cloudy, expressive.
Latent smokiness. It offers aromas of nearly stewed ripe fruit and sultana, with scents of gentian, rhubarb, sandalwood and honey.
Dry, despite to pleasant and warm notes of honey. Its tannic structure is powerful: somewhat drying to the palate, it is countered by intense salivation at the side walls of the mouth. Lastingly bitter.
