Amaro Averna is one of the most popular Italian bitter digestifs on the market. The historic liqueur is created to a 19th century Italian recipe, passed down from one generation to another since 1868.
Averna is dark brown, almost viscous and notably sweeter than many Amari - with easy to identify orange zest, herbal notes of juniper, rosemary and sage alongside an underlying bitter citrus and a chocolate-like finish.
