Tasting Notes
Amaro Camatti is a Genovese specialty, first made by pharmacist Umberto Briganti in 1923 and named after his wife. Bitters were originally prepared by the local pharmacist and prescribed for their healing properties. It has a unique taste of quinine and gentian with menthol and amaretto.
After disappearing from the market for several decades, Sangallo acquired the rights to produce Amaro Camatti, remaining faithful to the original (and secret) recipe of Umberto. It shows dried fruit on the nose, with a hint of eucalyptus, and there is mint on the palate, balanced with flavors of cola, gentian, and angelica.
Best serve chilled and neat!
