History
It is said that already in the Middle Ages the local monks produced herbal infusions for medical and digestive purposes. This ancient custom has been handed down to the present day through artisanal methods, which have continued to be part of the local culture. It is said that the name derives from the Rupe di Roccella Ionica, where, according to legend, the amaro was already produced in the 19th century.
Amaro Rupes is the result of research conducted by the homonymous winery of Roccella Ionica, which wanted to create a herbal liqueur following tradition.
Production method
The botanicals used in this drink have been selected with the experience of an old local distillery. The blend of plants, roots and herbs is a well-kept secret, but among the ingredients the aromatic sweetness of Calabrian licorice, the lively freshness of wild fennel and the elegant aroma of laurel stand out for their intensity. The manufacturing process follows the ancient traditions, with a cold infusion of botanicals in a hydroalcoholic solution, in order to extract all the aromas. Subsequently, the alcohol content is reduced by adding very pure water and a final touch of sugar is added to balance the bitter sensations of the herbs.
