Bordiga Chiot Montamaro Bitters

Wonderful aromas of peppermint and coco nibs (Girl Scout thin mints) :) Then comes the cinnamon stick, fresh herbs, mint from the garden. There is a slight bitterness, but this amaro is on the sweeter side, very tasty!  This is a great Chartreuse substitute D&M Tasting Notes

Chiot is a word in Occitan, the traditional language of this region, to describe a resting area in the alps where animals can be found grazing and weary travelers can sip an aperitivo. We love this amaro because of its nuanced flavors and big mouthfeel that bely its low ABV. Think traditional Alpine with cocoa nibs and black currant. Importer Notes
