Description

Amaro 33 is an innovative and anti-conformist Italian herbal liqueur that effortlessly bridges traditional alpine digestifs with a modern, spirited personality. Bottled at an ideal 33% ABV, it is available in both a contemporary 50cl bottle featuring an eye-catching glow-in-the-dark label.

Distilling Methods

Celebrated for their centuries-old mastery, the estate utilizes a proprietary distillation method known as the Metodo Da Ponte. Unlike standard commercial bitters that rely on neutral grain spirits, the unique base for Amaro 33 is premium Vecchia Grappa di Prosecco, distilled from local Glera grape pomace and patiently aged in Limousin and Slavonian oak casks.

The defining profile of the liqueur is achieved through a meticulous cold infusion process. Selected Shandong ginger is slowly macerated in the aged grappa, allowing the liquid to naturally draw out delicate essential oils from the root. This fiery extract is then masterfully combined with a balanced blend of 33 botanical herbs, roots, and citrus oils to offset the heat.

Serving & Cocktail Suggestions

•    Neat or Chilled: Serve it straight or on the rocks in a classic tumbler glass. It shines brightest when served cold, with an ideal serving temperature ranging from 5°C down to an ice-cold -15°C.
•    Amaro 33 Mule: Combine 50ml of Amaro 33 with a squeeze of fresh lime juice in a copper mug filled with crushed ice. Top up with premium ginger beer and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
•    The Spritz Venetian: Pour 40ml of Amaro 33 over ice, add 60ml of crisp Prosecco, and top with a splash of soda water. Garnish with an orange slice or lime wheel for a refreshing pre-dinner aperitif.

Food Pairings

The vibrant ginger heat and bitter botanical undertones of Amaro 33 make it a versatile partner for food:
•    Savoury Pairings: The spirit cuts beautifully through the richness of cured meats, aged cheeses, and duck terrines. It also pairs excellently with aromatic Asian cuisine, particularly sushi, sashimi, or Thai dishes that mirror the ginger and citrus profiles.
•    Sweet Pairings: Serve it alongside dark chocolate tarts, candied orange peels, or traditional gingerbread cookies. The warmth of the liqueur complements the spice and bitterness of high-cocoa desserts flawlessly.
