Sfumato Rabarbaro Amaro 750ml

Sfumato takes its name from the Italian for smoke, fumo, and from the Renaissance painting technique of soft transitions between light and dark. It is a rabarbaro, the style of amaro built on rhubarb root, with a smoky edge from its alpine herbs, and it is bottled at 20%.

Smoke comes first, then bitter, woody herbs and the earthy tang of rhubarb, with enough sweetness to round it off. The bitterness lingers, so a small pour goes a long way.

If you like mezcal, or find Montenegro too soft, this is the amaro to try. It is a bolder, darker choice than Averna, and good value.

Sip it over ice after dinner, or swap it in for Campari in a Negroni with gin for a smoky version. A splash also works in a Manhattan.

The rest of our amari are under liqueurs and cordials. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
