What Amaro Jefferson is
Amaro Jefferson belongs to the great tradition of Italian herbal amari: liqueurs born as digestifs and today also stars of contemporary mixology. At 30% vol, it sits among the medium-bodied amari, soft enough to be sipped neat yet with the character needed to stand up to ice and mixing. Its signature is the Calabrian citrus imprint.
The producer Vecchio Magazzino Doganale (Calabria)
Vecchio Magazzino Doganale is the Calabrian producer behind the creation of Amaro Jefferson, identified as Amaro Importante. The company is based in Calabria, a land rich in citrus fruit and herbal tradition, and ties the product to its territory through the choice of raw materials. Distribution is handled by Vivando Weine.
The herbs and Calabrian citrus
The heart of Amaro Jefferson lies in two families of infusions: herb infusions and infusions of Calabrian citrus peels. The herbs build the bitter, aromatic backbone typical of the genre, while the Calabrian citrus brings freshness, brightness and that citrus aroma that is the product's signature. Water, alcohol and sugar complete the recipe. The absence of colourings and artificial flavourings underlines the choice of a natural profile.
Organoleptic characteristics
On the nose the Calabrian citrus note dominates, accompanied by the herbal nuances of the infusions. On the palate the amaro shows measured sweetness, balanced by the bitterness of the herbs and the fresh, slightly almondy trail of the peels. The 30% vol delivers warmth without excess, with a dry, aromatic finish.
