This special rhubarb-based bitter amaro from the wonderful Cappelletti family exhibits a deft balance of bright and earthy, smoky flavors as the name suggests. The Cappellettis have been producing their Sfumato for nearly a century with the unique Chinese rhubarb, grown in Trentino as a base for flavors that include candied orange peels, celery salt, flint, pickled herbs, green strawberries, and raspberry preserves. The entry is rich and fruity. Cleans up nicely on the mid-palate on its way to a dry, bitter, long finish.
