The Bitter Contratto 100cl represents an excellence of Italian craft in the production of aromatic liqueurs, rooted in the Piedmontese tradition of Canelli, the beating heart of the Langhe wine-growing area. The recipe, which dates back to the mid-19th century, is characterized by a skillfully balanced blend of herbs, roots, and spices, carefully harvested to give the product a unique olfactory complexity.
On the nose, an intense intertwining of spicy notes of cinnamon and clove is immediately perceived, accompanied by citrus hints of bitter orange and lemon, while a light herbal touch gently envelops the whole. On the palate, the structure is soft but firm, with an elegant and persistent bitterness that stimulates the taste buds, framed by a lively freshness and aromatic hints of bitter roots.
The aging, strictly controlled in glass, preserves the flavors and aromas intact, allowing this bitter to best express the complexity of its original recipe. Perfect to enjoy neat or as a distinctive base for refined cocktails, it ideally accompanies aperitifs and convivial moments.
