Amaro Santa Maria Al Monte (1 L)

One of the great 19th Century Italian amari that has survived to this day and continues to thrive as one of the best in class. Originally developed by Franciscan monks in Genoa, this Ligurian classic is oak aged for a year prior to bottling and features notes of pine, spearmint, oranges, cedar and bittersweet floral gentian root. This is one liter of fernet-style liqueur, beautifully balances bitterness, herbaceousness, and sweetness. While compellingly complex, this liqueur distinguishes itself with pronounced mint on the finish.
