The story
The company AMARICA S.r.l. is registered at Via Scaparra 14, Montericco di Albinea (RE). Its public commercial activity focuses on a line of "amaricato" — modern reinterpretations of traditional amaro — as highlighted by the technical datasheets of individual products and online sales pages. Additional publicly available information on the company's history and the people involved is limited in the sources consulted.
Production philosophy
Paraphrasing official information, the project aims to reinterpret the Italian liqueur tradition by combining the maceration of typical botanicals with distinctive base spirits (mezcal, rum, whisky) to produce amaricati with greater depth and personality than classic amari.
