Amaro Montenegro

The founder of Montenegro, Stanislao Cobianchi, wanted to create a bottle as unique as the elixir it contains. And thus, their iconic bottle was born. Although revisited over the years, it has and will always keep its distinctive vial characteristic, reminiscent of a potion conjured through alchemy.

Their Amaro was born in 1885 with the name Elisir Lungavita and immediately received notable recognition. Eleven years later, marking the marriage of the charming Princess Elena of Montenegro to Prince Vittorio Emanuele III, Stanislao decided to dedicate his storied elixir to her royal highness, changing its name to Amaro Montenegro.

• The liqueur has a bright, zesty citrus element, primarily from the orange peel, which provides a refreshing balance to the otherwise bitter profile. The citrus notes bring a touch of vibrancy to the drink.
• There's a subtle sweetness, not overpowering, which balances the bitterness. The sweetness comes across as honeyed and slightly syrupy, giving it a rounded, comforting mouthfeel without being too sugary.
• Amaro Montenegro has a delicate spiced finish, with flavours of cinnamon, clove, and cardamom emerging after the initial herbal and citrus burst. These spices add warmth and depth to the overall flavour profile.
