About this deal

Herbs, roots and spices as well as pomegranates and essential oils from bitter oranges and lemons are collected, mixed and crushed. Averna Amaro is a classic Sicilian amaro – a bitter, aromatic liqueur – produced by Averna in Caltanissetta, Sicily, since 1868.

We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. In 1859, as a token of gratitude, fray Girolamo, prior de la Abadía de Santo Spirito gave Salvatore the recipe for the infusion. During a private visit of King Umberto I in 1895, Francesco received a gold pin with the House of Savoy insignia in recognition of the Sicilian bitter, which by now was well known.It is based on the recipe for a herbal elixir Capuchin friars Badiade dela Santo Spirito in Caltanissetta To enjoy the taste Best served at a temperature of about 3 degrees as follows: we take a glass a little amaro, add an ice cube and some mint leaves. Since 1978, the fourth generation of Averna has maintained that position in the market, further consolidating it through product diversification: the "Averna Group" now includes the Villa Frattina winery producing (still and sparkling wines). Some classic elements and unique viscosity and color but all I pick up from the flavor palate is a very strong alcohol flavor and doesn't really feel well balanced with the other herbal elements.

Here, following an ancient tradition born in the fortified Benedictine abbeys and spread to Europe through the Cluniac and Cistercian monasteries, the monks produced an elixir of herbs that was pleasant despite being "bitter", and was popularly thought to possess tonic and therapeutic properties.

If the intensity of taste and smell is right, the mixture is reduced to drinking strength and bottled. Averna Riserva Don Salvatore was released in 2018 to celebrate the brand's 150th anniversary, this is an aged expression of Averna.
