Cardamaro is the only amaro based on wine and Nizza Monferrato Cardoon. The secret recipe also contains blessed thistle, milk thistle and artichoke leaves.

These ingredients are skilfully measured out and work in conduction with and enhance the properties of the cardoon.

The mixture is blended with infusions obtained from a single extraction of calumba, juniper, Gentiana Lutea berries, cloves, liquorice root, cardamom, lemon peel and marjoram.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

Colour: Reddish-yellow, almost amber, with bright tinges and dark brown hints with transparency.

Aroma: Strong and complex, thanks to the blend of the various extracts and the long ageing process. Spicy notes of Hunchback Cardoon, Gentiana, clary sage and liquorice are prominent; hints of dried fruit, grapes and ginger also emerge.

Flavour: The sweet, full and well-orchestrated flavour reflects the extraordinary balance between the sweet note, the bitter quality of some of the officinal herbs and the pleasant tastiness of the wine. The tasting experience is unique, with pleasantness unmatched by any other amaro, thanks to the moderate alcohol content. The long-lasting aftertaste retains the complexity and spicy notes of the herbs, with a slight hint of tobacco.
