LUCANO AMARO Product of Italy
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer LUCANO
Medium-deep ambering brown colour. Intense, attractive, very spicy, herbal, bittersweet nose. Rich, medium-full bodied, spicy, spearminty, cinnamon-clove-tinged, bittersweet flavours with a lingering, very bright, lifted, herbal-caramel-brown sugar finish. I love this neat on the rocks with a twist of lemon.
