The nose is broad and elegant, full of enticing aromas of orange peel, rhubarb, mint, gentian, aloe, cinchona bark, walnut, liquorice, dried prunes, roasted coffee beans and medicinal herbs. On the palate it is soft and perfectly balanced, round and moderately warm; it boasts a long progression of taste in which notes of roasted coffee and liquorice stick are exalted, embellished with refined balsamic echoes. This Amaro is a product of the Zarri family tradition and follows a recipe that has been kept in the archives of the Villa Zarri cellars for half a century.

The extract obtained is then left to stand for several months in a steel container until it reaches the 35 per cent alcohol volume at which it is consumed. At this point, it is ready to be filtered and bottled.
