About the Wine

In a beautiful area on the slopes of the Sibillini Mountains in Italy's Marche Region, you'll find Distilleria Varnelli. They've been making exceptional spirits since 1868. It all began with Girolamo Varnelli, a clever herbalist who created Amaro Sibilla, a fantastic tonic liquor that won a gold medal in 1909.

Fast forward to today, and Distilleria Varnelli is still going strong, run by the fourth generation of the Varnelli family, and it's led by four remarkable women. They focus on blending old traditions with new ideas, ensuring the best quality while caring for the environment and their community.

Their distillery is in Pievebovigliana, and they have a modern headquarters in Muccia, designed to fit in with the stunning natural surroundings. They choose the finest natural ingredients for their products, some of which are made using secret family methods passed down through the generations.

This intriguing Amaro is obtained from a decoction of herbs, roots and barks which are prepared over a wood fire. Only pure honey is used to sweeten this blend.

Tasting Notes: Tobacco color with brick red shades, opaque, expressive. It offers aromas of nearly stewed ripe fruit and sultana, with scents of gentian, rhubarb, sandalwood and honey. Dry, bitter, warm. Its tannic structure is powerful: somewhat drying to the palate, it is countered by intense salivation at the side walls of the mouth. Hard notes due to acids and tannins are dominant.
