Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro

Description

The term Sfumato derives from the Italian word for smoke – ‘fumo’. It is traditionally associated with a style of Renaissance painting characterized by subtle transitions between areas of dark and light. This speaks directly to this amaro’s profile, which marries a dark smokiness with bitter woodsiness from alpine herbs and notes of sweet alpine berries. Lovely on its own or with tonic and grapefruit.

The producer, which goes by the full name Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti, was first established in 1909. As the name would suggest, the firm was and is still today focused on products from traditional herbs, roots and flowers. All production is done in house by the fourth generation of the family, Luigi and Maddalena Cappelletti.
