The Character
Aromas Sweet herbs, orange peel
Tasting Notes Contratto drinks more like a classic sweeter amaro, yet is lighter in body and not at all syrupy. Aromas of mint, menthol and herbs lead too a smooth yet classic profile with far more balanced and less bracing flavors.
Pairings Serve as a digestif, with coffee or espresso, in a cocktail
Sustainability Vegan, Green Practicing
