CioCiaro has released this special edition of their classic amaro to reflect the modern palate, with a more pronounced gentian root bitterness, creating a rich but balanced sip full of orange zest, gentian root, licorice, and a blend of herbal botanicals. Less overtly orangey than the original, with a wonderful earthiness that makes it a great candidate for both sipping and cocktailing. Hello Black Manhattan.

Created by Vincenzo Paolucci in 1873 shortly after his move from the nearby Italian region of Abruzzo to Sora in Ciociaria and the Liri Valley rich in herbs and spices such as gentian which he needed for his liqueur production. Amaro CioCiaro continues to be made by Vincenzo Paolucci's decendents. Considered to be Italy's finest Amaro by America's most prominent mixologists, Amaro CioCiaro is a unique liqueur made from carefully selected natural ingredients. Produced from the authentic recipe of Italy's CioCiaro region, Amaro CioCiaro is the primary component of many mixed drinks and is as well delicious when served on the rocks or with a splash of seltzer. Try adding a splash to your next Mezcal Negroni or Rye Manhattan for a more earthy and herbal flavor.
