AMARO CALAMARO – THE BITTER LIQUEUR FROM THE DEPTHS

Pallini is a historic Italian producer of liqueurs and syrups, founded in Antrodoco in 1875 by Nicola Pallini and relocated to Rome in the 1920s. Today, it is the only distillery still operating in the capital and an important name in Italy’s beverage industry. Its production combines traditional recipes, generations of family expertise and a strong commitment to quality. Available in over 45 countries, Pallini brings authentic Italian flavour to the world through distinctive, carefully crafted specialities deeply rooted in its history.
Also known as “Amaro degli Abissi”, meaning “Bitter Liqueur from the Depths”, Amaro Calamaro is rooted in Italy’s rich liqueur-making tradition and offers a perfect balance of elegance and character. Its recipe involves the careful infusion of honey, gentian and artichoke extract with alcohol and granulated sugar, creating a surprising and captivating aromatic bouquet. With its typically Mediterranean character, this versatile bitter liqueur is excellent served neat as a digestif or chilled over crushed ice with a slice of orange. It is equally at home in mixology, inspiring creative and original interpretations. Perfect for those seeking something beyond the traditional after-dinner drink, it can be enjoyed in unconventional aperitifs, replacing vermouth in a Negroni or mixed with tonic water or cola.
Its brown colour with bronze highlights introduces an aromatic bouquet of gentian, bitter orange peel, peppermint and delicate hints of liquorice. Full and harmonious on the palate, it echoes the aromas perceived on the nose, revealing notes of honey and mint followed by a persistent caramel and cinchona finish.
