Cardamaro

Piedmontese scholar and herbalist Rachele Torlasco Bosca was inspired by the health benefits of the cardoon (a relative of artichoke with an edible celery-like stalk) to create this light-bodied amaro with a base of moscato in the 1950s. The aromatic and gentle recipe has evolved to include 23 other herbs, including calumba, cloves, licorice root, and its namesake cardamom.

This is a wine-based vino amaro with a relatively low ABV of 17%. 

Cardamaro’s aroma is strong and complex, thanks to the blend of the various extracts and the long ageing process. Spicy notes of Hunchback Cardoon, Gentiana, clary sage and liquorice are prominent. On the palate, look for a balance between sweetness and bitterness and spicy notes of the herbs, with a slight hint of tobacco.
