Amaro Meletti

Standing before a wall of Amari is daunting and exciting, regardless of your experience with these herbal, bittersweet digestives. So many amari and so little time! With a nose of saffron, cola, bitter orange, chocolate, soft clove, and violet pastiglie this balanced and complex amaro is a perfect reminder of how sensuous an amaro can be. From the Famiglia Meletti of Le Marche on Italy's Adriatic side, this ample-bodied amaro counts locally sourced saffron and gentian as ingredients and offers a lower abv of 32%. Upon sipping, one's focus travels inward to consider how its beautiful bouquet would be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in a Negroni, in your best fudgey brownie or ginger cookie recipe, or as a spike to rich hot cocoa or caffe corretto. A great entry into the wonderful world of Amari, and a respite for a savvy palate!
