Sirene 'Amarulivo' Vino Amaro Aperitivo
Amarulivo (a combination of the words ‘amaro’ and ‘ulivo’ or olive), Elisa was inspired by the olive trees that grow prolifically around Lake Garda and the leaves serve as the primary bittering agent. The base wine is the local Trebbiano di Lugano (genetically identical to Verdicchio) and adds brightness and freshness that make this traditional digestivo attractive as an aperitivo as well. Notes of tangerine, peach tea, cardamom
pods and lemon balm round out the palate.
Primary Botanicals: olive tree leaves, lemon verbena, iris, pine, absinthe, yarrow, oregano, laurel, rosemary, chiretta flower, mugwort Botanical Source: All except the chiretta and mugwort are grown on the farm at the Sirene House.
This makes the most perfect savory spritz, just add bubbly wine an olive and a twist.
