Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This Friulian amaro from Nonino Distillatori starts from a grape distillate, is infused with a proprietary blend of aromatic herbs, roots and botanicals, and is then aged in small oak barrels. In the glass it opens with orange peel, gentian and chamomile over soft vanilla and oak. On the palate, bittersweet gentian is lifted by zesty citrus, with chamomile and rhubarb weaving through before a long finish that fades from herbs and citrus into a gentle oakiness. At 35% ABV it is approachable for someone just discovering amaro, yet layered enough to reward the enthusiast who sips slowly after dinner. It also earns a place behind the bar: it shakes into a bright Amaro Sour, stretches into an easy spritz with sparkling water and orange, and adds a welcome splash to espresso. We carry it because the oak aging gives it a rounded, finished character among herbal liqueurs, and because it is just as convincing neat as it is mixed.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate desserts — The bittersweet gentian and subtle vanilla echo the cocoa's own bitterness and depth.
- Almond biscotti with espresso — The amaro's orange peel and oak notes complement toasted almond, and a splash in the coffee ties the plate together.
- Lingering after-dinner conversation — Its long finish, which moves from herbs and citrus into gentle oak, invites slow sipping at the end of a meal.
