Gamondi Bitter (traditionally known as Bitter Tradizionale Italiano) is a vibrant, ruby-red premium Italian aperitif inspired by herbalist Carlo Gamondi’s 1900s recipes. With a 25% ABV, it serves as a robust Campari alternative, celebrated for its crisp, intensely botanical flavour profile and dry, lingering bitter finish.

Key Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and complex bouquet highlighting bitter orange, deep herbal infusions, and subtle earthy sweetness.
  
• Palate: Dense and well-woven. It offers an initial burst of sweetness mingled with bright citrus that is quickly balanced by deep, complex botanical and spice notes, including gentle hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and rhubarb.
  
• Finish: Dry, structured, and decidedly bitter. The bitterness gracefully builds on the back of the throat for a long, persistent, and refreshing aftertaste.

Core Ingredients

• Botanicals: A secret blend of roots, barks, and plants, primarily featuring cinchona, gentian, wormwood (absinthe), Cape aloe, and rhubarb.
  
• Citrus: Distinct citrus characteristics delivered via infusions of both sweet and bitter orange peels.

Recommended Servings

• Neat: Perfect to sip on the rocks with a simple slice or twist of orange peel.
  
• Classic Cocktails: It is an indispensable, premium base for iconic Italian mixed drinks like the Negroni (with gin and sweet vermouth) and the Americano (with sweet vermouth and soda water).
  
• Pairings: Serve with savoury appetizers like cured meats, aged cheeses, olives, or rich, robust entrees like beef ragu to balance the intense herbal bitterness.
  A true deep-red classic in a beautifully engraved, large 100cl bottle.
