A traditional Milanese bitter liqueur created at Milan’s most famous bar. And as you’d expect from a regarded bartender such as Dario Comini, this liqueur is coloured with natural cochineal as is traditional.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 29/03/2019

Appearance:

Clear, deep crimson red.

Aroma:

Bitter orange, quinine, floral notes, tropical lush greenness, geraniums, bayleaf and root/bark herbal aromas.

Taste:

Rooty bitterness, quinine and bitter zesty orange with assertive white pepper and cinnamon spice.

Aftertaste:

Long spicy, bitter finish with zesty orange and red berry.

Overall:

Fuller, more bitter and more concentrated in flavour than any other Italian red bitter aperitivo we’ve come across.
