Camatti Amaro

Item # 48338

One of the many brilliant things about this amaro is that it is complex enough, delivering a satisfying bitter edge but apporachable and light enough to have as an aperitif due to its lower abv. all at once. It all makes sense considering the Genovese terroir it reflects with is famous pastels and coastal riviera energy. Its been made here for a century and it only seems to be better and more relevant than ever.

Works great on ice with a splash of soda as a refreshing aperitivo, and it is a mandatory punctuation for the evening after the game at the Luigi Ferraris. Ti amo Zena. Forza Doria!

Liguria

While perhaps more famous for its topless beaches, Liguria also produces some truly outstanding and unusual white wines. As the region is dominated primarily by coastal villages, it’s not surprising that the typical Liguria diet is rich in seafood - and as such, snappy, high-acidity whites are quite the M.O. One notable exception is the wine made from the idiosyncratic Pigato grape, which yields a softer, more lush wine with distinctive notes of herbs and (we’re not being tongue-and-cheek...
