Nardini Amaro is an Italian liqueur with a rich history that dates back over 200 years, specifically to 1779, when Bortolo Nardini founded his distillery along the banks of the Brenta River. A symbol of tradition and quality, this amaro is produced following ancient recipes that use a meticulous selection of alpine herbs and botanicals, grown in the pleasant mountainous areas of Italy.
The one-liter bottle of Nardini Amaro offers a robust and aromatic culinary experience. Its color is a deep dark brown that visually reveals its complex nature. On the nose, notes of aromatic herbs, roots, and a slight hint of citrus emerge immediately, sparking curiosity and inviting further exploration through tasting.
On the palate, Nardini Amaro presents a rich and balanced structure. The initial sweet impact, with hints of tamarind and orange, evolves into a bitter and persistently aromatic aftertaste, thanks to the eucalyptus and gentian that beautifully balance the flavor. Its finish is long and pleasantly bitter, in keeping with the tradition of Italian amari.
Versatile in its use, Nardini Amaro can be enjoyed neat at room temperature or slightly chilled, perfect as a digestive after a meal. It is also excellent as the basis for innovative cocktails, offering a note of complexity and richness that enhances every mix.
Nardini Amaro is more than just a simple liqueur; it is a piece of Italian history that continues to delight generations of connoisseurs. Perfect for those wishing to discover or rediscover the authentic taste of traditional Italian essences in a glass.

The story
Production began in 1779 when Bortolo Nardini opened his grapperia at the entrance of the Ponte Vecchio in Bassano del Grappa. The company has remained family-run for generations and has expanded its production facilities over the years (including the Monastier plant) while preserving the historic headquarters and the Grapperia on the bridge. For its 225th anniversary the 'Le Bolle' complex, an architectural and research center designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, was created. Nardini is a member of Les Hénokiens, the club of bicentenary family companies.
Distillation
Distillation of vinacce with mixed practices: discontinuous/batch distillation (historically) and use of column/continuous plants at external sites; use of reduced-pressure techniques to preserve aromas (technical details vary by product).
Ageing
For Riserva grappas, aging in wood is practiced; there are references labeled Riserva with multi-year maturations (known examples: 3, 5, 7, 15, 22 years), details are specific to each product.
