Averna Amaro was first produced in the 19th century by the Benedictine monks of the Abbazia Di Santo Spirito in Caltanissetta, Sicily. The secret recipe was crafted to capture the unique flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean herbs native to the region. In 1868, the recipe was gifted to Salvatore Averna, a local businessman and benefactor of the abbey, as a token of gratitude.
Averna Amaro offers a deep brown hue and a complex bouquet. Its flavor is unmistakably bittersweet, marked by a harmonious blend of citrus and herbal notes, with a hint of licorice adding depth. It's particularly noted for its pleasant sweetness and herbal, decadent complexity.
