Sardinian Herbal Amaro Rau Distillerie 70cl 28%

Origin: Sardinia, Sassari (Italy)

Raw materials: A selection of medicinal herbs, roots, and aromatic plants from the Sardinian Mediterranean scrub (including myrtle, gentian, and eucalyptus).

Color: Intense, dark amber-brown, clear, with warm mahogany and golden reflections when exposed to light.

Nose: Intensely aromatic, balsamic, and complex, characterized by marked notes of Mediterranean scrub, thyme, wild mint, bitter orange peel, and delicate nuances of roots and rhubarb.

Taste: Balanced, enveloping, and decidedly persistent. The palate opens with moderate sweetness and warmth, immediately veering towards a pleasantly bitter, herbaceous, and citrusy finish that leaves the palate fresh and clean.

Alcohol content: 28% vol.

Serving temperature: Serve very cold (4-6°C) or with ice and a twist of lemon or orange peel to enhance the citrusy and refreshing component.

Pairings: Ideal as a straight digestif after a meal. It is excellent for preparing contemporary cocktails (such as a twist on the Negroni or paired with premium tonics) and pairs well with dark chocolate or dry pastries made with orange peel.

Terroir: The medicinal herbs and roots are harvested in the inland and coastal areas of Sardinia, where the soil, exposed to salty winds and the island's constant sun, allows the plants to develop a very high concentration of essential oils and stable bitter principles.

Production: Cold hydro-alcoholic maceration and infusion. The various Sardinian botanicals and roots are left to macerate separately in pure alcohol to preserve the integrity of the individual aromas. The infusions are then assembled according to the family recipe, mixed with water and sugar, filtered, and bottled without artificial colors.

Description: The Amaro di Erbe di Sardegna by Rau Distillerie is the archetype of the island's digestif. Formulated to balance the balsamic power of wild plants with the smoothness of a twenty-eight percent alcohol content, this liqueur stands out for its clean and never cloying character. The skillful harmony between the initial sweet notes and the markedly bitter return of the roots makes it a versatile product, capable of satisfying both the traditional consumer and bartenders looking for a Sardinian touch for signature mixology.
