Tasting Notes Vecchio Amaro del Capo appears in its iced glass like clear and transparent amber with intense golden and brown reflections. Immediately sweet, its dense and creamy body envelops the taste with softness, revealing its warm alcoholic body in the cold of -4 F. The intense aromas that reach the nose unfold in a fresh sip rich in citrus aromas of orange and bergamot, to then unfold in the fresh scents of aromatic and balsamic herbs. The warmer floral tones of honey and spices (such as saffron and licorice) and pastry (vanilla and cookies) then step in softly and enveloping. Cooked fruit, dried fruit and toasted notes of caramel eventually show up to enrich this continuous discovery. A slight bitter hint gives personality to the soft embrace that slowly warms up and lingers for a long time in all its facets
