Amaro Lucano 60pf –

Amaro Lucano 60pf --

Amaro Lucano comes from the town of Pisticci, Lucania in the Basilicata Region in Southern Italy. Its popularity is thanks to the hard work of Mr. Pasquale Vena. The Vena family owned a caf in the town square and was first known for making esquisite biscuits. In 1894, Pasquale perfected his secret recipe for a liqueur and the rest is history. The Amaro Lucano label he chose is perhaps the most original of all the amaros and has not changed in 100 years. It is homage to the region. The colour is similar to Averna’s. Dark Brown with copper tinges. The nose is herbaceous with little intensity. Medium bodied, a touch medicinal, with peppermint, caramel and nutty flavours. This one falls in the middle of the three in terms of sweetness.
