Although amaro is the Italian for 'bitter', the name is thought to derive from two words meaning 'black': the Latin 'negro' and the ancient Greek 'maru'. Deep red colour with purple edges. Intense perfume of tar, liquorice and red berries. Fruity and spicy with intense flavours leading to a soft supple finish. Ideal to accompany flavoured pasta dishes with tomato sauce, roast meats, game, salami, and mature cheeses.
