Vecchio Amaro del Capo is an Italian liqueur that captures the full essence of Calabria, a region rich in aromas and traditions. Produced by the Caffo distillery, this bitter liqueur is made following a traditional recipe that uses the infusion of herbs, roots, flowers, and fruits typical of the Calabrian flora.

Produced in the picturesque location of Capo Vaticano, Vecchio Amaro del Capo is distinguished by a harmonious composition that makes it smooth on the palate yet with a decidedly marked character. The 150 cl bottle offers a generous amount of this liqueur, ideal for enjoying in company.

To the eye, Vecchio Amaro del Capo presents an intense amber color. On the nose, notes of orange and tangerine are immediately perceived, followed by hints of licorice, mint, and chamomile, which contribute to a complex and inviting aromatic profile.

It is recommended to serve it cold, at a temperature of about -20°C, to enhance its bouquet and balance the sweetness with the bitter notes, making it extremely refreshing. This amaro is perfect as a digestive after a meal, but also as a base for innovative cocktails.

In conclusion, Vecchio Amaro del Capo 150cl is more than just a simple digestive; it is a sensory journey into the land of Calabria, celebrating the richness of aromas and the herbal tradition of this picturesque corner of Italy. A must for lovers of Italian liqueurs and for those who want to discover unique and authentic flavors.
