Distilleria Varnelli has been producing spirits since 1868 on the slopes of the Sibillini Mountains in Italy’s Marche Region. This intriguing amaro is obtained from a decoction of herbs, roots and barks which are prepared over a wood fire. Only pure honey is used to sweeten this blend. It offers aromas of nearly stewed ripe fruit and sultana, with scents of gentian, rhubarb, sandalwood, and honey. On the palate, it’s dry, bitter, and warm, with a powerful tannic structure.
