This brawny alpine amaro has found favor among high-end mixologists for its sharp, distinct pine characteristic. In the glass, it's ruddy brown, and features a dense, piny aroma spiked with mint. On the palate, it's austere, starting with notes of allspice and toffee and lots of pine mid palate, fading into a clean, slightly herbal bitterness. Use to add bracing pine flavor to cocktails or sip as a post-dinner palate cleanser. (KN)
