Sangallo Distillery Amaro Camatti 750ml

A lot of what makes the beverage world fascinating is the always subjective, and very personal resonance our favorites have with us. When it comes to objective stuff though, there’s no question regionality plays a major role in drinks and food, and Amaro is no exception. Genova is one of my favorite cities and Camatti is a staple of Genovese osterias and bars, showing its coastal Mediterranean origin very clearly. It is complex, with suggestions of bitter orange,mint and an appetizing gentian root tang, yet much lighter and less “barky” and medicinal than Alpine Amari. Works great on ice with a splash of soda as a refreshing aperitivo, and it is a mandatory punctuation for the evening after the game at the Luigi Ferraris. Ti amo Zena. Forza Doria!
