Tosti Giovanni Bosca Cardamaro Vino Amaro Liqueur Piedmont, Italy

Cardamaro, Amaro al Cardo

This secret family recipe was developed over the last century by the Bosca Family. Using Cardoon, Blessed Thistle, and several other botanicals.

Critic tasting note: "Tawny almost amber colour, with a green tinge. Very classic Amaro nose of dry wood, spices, dried sweet fruit, almost some grapey hints, and pickled or candied ginger actually. Very nice, very spicy with a lot of character for this style of beverage. Palate is immensely sweet, but I think that this sweetness is nicely backed up by that classic bitterness; it really gives a nice lift. Very persistent on the palate, and I think in the end the bitterness wins over the sweetness, as it finishes dry with tobacco, dry wood, a very discreet spiciness. It’s really good this one! I like it." - 92/100, Andreas Larsson - Tasted
