Amaro Lucano 750ML

A Secret 1894 Italian Blend of Over 30 Herbs & Botanicals

Discover the authentic taste of Southern Italy with amaro lucano. First created in 1894 in Pisticci, Basilicata by pastry chef Pasquale Vena, this renowned herbal liqueur is crafted using a secret family recipe passed down through generations. Combining over 30 carefully selected herbs, roots, flowers, and spices—including wormwood, holy thistle, clary sage, gentian, and bitter orange peel—it delivers a beautifully balanced bittersweet harmony.

Bottled at 28% ABV (56 proof), Amaro Lucano features a deep amber color and a complex, bittersweet flavor profile. It strikes an effortless balance between citrus brightness, warm caramel sweetness, and grounding herbal bitterness, making it world-famous both as a refreshing traditional digestif and a versatile cocktail modifier.
