Amaro Lucano 750ml
Amaro Lucano has been produced in Pisticci, Basilicata — the sun-baked heel of Italy's boot — since 1894, when pastry chef Pasquale Vena first blended his secret recipe of herbs and botanicals. Over 130 years later, the recipe remains a closely guarded family secret, passed from father to son across four generations of the Vena family. What is known: more than 30 herbs, roots, and botanicals go into every bottle, producing a bittersweet amaro of extraordinary complexity and balance — one that became the official amaro of the Italian Royal House and remains one of Italy’s most beloved digestivi.
Elegant and complex, Amaro Lucano strikes the perfect balance between bitter and sweet — with floral notes, a whisper of citrus, and a long, warming finish that makes it exceptional on its own over ice, in a spritz, or as the secret weapon in a cocktail.
"It contains the essence of more than 30 herbs, a symphony of flavours to which its unique taste — both delicately balanced and invigorating — can be attributed. In this blend you should detect floral notes, a whisper of citrus… among others… I cannot bring myself to disclose anything further!" — The Vena Family, Amaro Lucano

It would bring me immense pleasure to disclose to all the recipe of my Amaro Lucano, but truly I cannot, I could not, certainly not! I have sworn an oath of the utmost solemnity, that this recipe be biquethed from father to son, as is fitting for the most precious inheritances.
What of this marvellous bitters am I permitted to reveal? Allow me to divulge: it contains the essence of more than 30 herbs, a symphony of flavours to which its unique taste - both delicately balanced and invigorating - can be attributed. In this blend you should detect, provided that you possess the full use and benefit of your nose and palate of course, floral notes, a whisper of citrus...among others...I cannot bring myself to disclose anything further!
The recipe resides solely within my mind, where it shall remain. I boast already a remarkable amount of memory - at least a terabyte in my estimation! There is not one word to be found of my recipe in any scroll or manuscript, no Instagram oeuvre can broadcast its secrets - a fact that all food bloggers shall have to swallow! But fret not, foodies and friends, you need not attain the arcane in order to savour the flavour.
