Marches, Italy

Description:

Meletti Amaro is made from a unique, proprietary blend of herbs and botanicals. The flavors of these carefully selected ingredients are obtained through the cold-extraction process known as percolation. The process is similar to brewing coffee. Much like a coffee pot, an assortment of ingredients is placed in the upper section of the still, and alcohol flavored with additional ingredients is pumped over and through it. This pumping and percolation is repeated continuously until the Meletti family determines the Amaro is ready to be filtered and bottled. Meletti Amaro is a delightfully aromatic liqueur that is excellent after a meal as an aid to digestion.

Characteristics:

Amaro is amber in color, has an herbal aroma and slightly bitter taste.

Food Match:

This is the perfect after dinner drink. Amaro is the quintessential “digestivo.”

Dark amber in color, this is lightly scented with cinnamon and caramel. The taste is surprisingly sweet, but saved by the faintly bitter finish and just enough alcohol. A biscotti cookie-amaretto flavor lingers on, lightly and pleasantly.
