Amaro Montenegro

Amaro Montenegro uses 40 botanicals. The botanicals are chopped, mixed together in water and boiled for just the right amount of time.

Select botanicals develop into extracts thanks to maceration in an aqueous-alcoholic solution for 20 to 30 days. The distillation process creates the heart of the spirit, its purest form from carefully chosen botanicals. At the end of this long and delicate process, each using the 40 botanicals in their own unique way, we are left with 12 essential extracts.

Adding to the secrecy of the recipe, the 12 essences are blended together and transformed into six aromatic notes. After the six notes are blended according to the original recipe, alcohol, water and sugar are added.

At the end of this process, Il Premio – which means “prize” in Italian - is added. It is the seventh and final tasting note that is a result of a micro-distillation of five unique botanicals. The concoction is so intense, only a single drop in a bottle is needed to complete this celebrated recipe. (1 liter for every 15,000 bottles)
