What is Liquore Delle Sirene Canto Amaro?
Crafted on the shores of Lake Garda, Liquore Delle Sirene Canto Amaro captures the essence of the legendary Sirens' song with its enchanting blend of local citrus and rare Timut pepper, which imparts a surprising passion fruit note—making it the only amaro in the world to feature this exotic Nepalese spice.
Why do we love Liquore Delle Sirene Canto Amaro?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Liquore Delle Sirene Canto Amaro for its unique blend of Lake Garda lemon zest, thistle, and timut pepper, creating a harmonious balance of citrus, bitterness, and exotic spice that sets it apart from traditional amari, while its small-batch production and use of locally-sourced organic botanicals reflect Elisa Carta's commitment to crafting an authentic, terroir-driven spirit.
How do you drink Liquore Delle Sirene Canto Amaro?
Liquore Delle Sirene Canto Amaro shines when sipped neat or over ice as an after-dinner digestif, but its complex blend of citrus and herbal notes also make it a versatile base for craft cocktails, particularly those calling for bitter liqueurs; its refreshing profile is perfect for balmy summer evenings, and it pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes or citrus-based desserts.
Nose: Bright citrus notes of Lake Garda lemons dominate, accompanied by sweet vanilla and subtle floral hints. A gentle herbal undertone emerges, with whispers of thistle and gentian adding complexity.
Palate: Medium-bodied with a silky texture. Citrus flavors burst forward, reminiscent of pink grapefruit and passion fruit from the Timut pepper. Sweet orange and vanilla provide balance, while bitter herbs like kina and thistle offer depth. Warm cinnamon and spicy ginger notes add intrigue.
Finish: Long and satisfying. The initial sweetness fades, leaving a pleasant bitterness typical of amaro. Lingering notes of citrus peel and aromatic herbs mingle with a subtle oakiness from the cask aging. The unique pungency of Timut pepper provides a final, intriguing kick.
Canto Amaro is crafted by individually infusing organic botanicals sourced from Lake Garda, including local lemons, thistle, and timut pepper, before blending and briefly resting the liqueur in small oak casks—a process that honors traditional family recipes while incorporating unique ingredients like timut pepper for a distinctive citrusy twist.
