Liqueur, Grappa & Spirits

Amaro Montenegro is a traditional amaro distilled in Bologna, Italy. It is made from a secret blend of 40 botanicals, including vanilla, orange peels and eucalyptus. The amaro was first produced by Stanislao Cobianchi in 1885 and was originally called Elisivir Lungavita. In 1896, it was renamed Amaro Montenegro, after Princess Elena of Montenegro who married Crown Prince Victor Emmanuel, the future King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy .^[1][2] Its production takes place in the factory of San Lazzaro di Savena (Province of Bologna) of Montenegro Srl.

Cobianchi travelled from continent to continent collecting 40 rinds, woods, seeds, rhizomes, flowers, fruits, citrus peels, roots, stems and leaves.

Amaro Montenegro is the result of a process that has been passed down through generations, unchanged since 1885. The Master Herbalist oversees the entire production process, just as Cobianchi once did.

Civitavecchia. It was 1945 when Angelo Molinari, expert perfumer and connoisseur of the secrets of blending, began his experiments to create a product of the highest quality: Sambuca Extra. A liqueur with an unmistakable taste, based on star anise, whose recipe is still a secret today. Thus began the history of the Molinari company.

According to the legend, its origins date back more than 300 years to the presence of Christian monks
living in the hills of the Piedmont region of northern Italy.
Their skills in fine food and drinks included the art of distilling, especially the use of the wild hazelnuts
and other precious ingredients to create liquor recipes such as the one on which Frangelico is based today. 
Its name is also part of the same local legend - an abbreviation of Fra’ Angelico,
a hermit monk believed to have inhabited the magnificent Piedmont hills during the 18th century.

Frangelico envelops the senses, drawing you in and providing a refreshing flavorful experience. The senses delight in the beauty of Italy, the sweetness of the taste and smoothness of the texture, all encased in an intriguing bottle.

The famous Faretti liqueur comes from northern Italy where wonderful biscotti cookies are baked in rustic brick ovens.  We invite you to enjoy its delicately layered taste which combines hints of nuts, citrus and fennel in a symphony of flavor.  Try it neat, with coffee, and in mixed districts.  Salute!
