For the Amarulivo (a combination of the words ‘amaro’ and ‘ulivo’ or olive), Elisa was inspired by the olive trees that grow prolifically around Lake Garda and the leaves serve as the primary bittering agent. The base wine is the local Trebbiano di Lugano (genetically identical to Verdicchio) and adds brightness and freshness that make this traditional digestivo attractive as an aperitivo as well. Notes of tangerine, peach tea, cardamom pods and lemon balm round out the palate.

Primary Botanicals: Olive tree leaves, lemon verbena, iris, pine, absinthe, yarrow, oregano, laurel, rosemary, chiretta flower, and mugwort. All botanicals except the chiretta and mugwort are grown on the farm at the Sirene House.

Production: Botanicals are infused individually in neutral grain spirit for 3 weeks with stirring every day. Infusions pressed and combined, then water and beet sugar added. Rested briefly and paper filtered. No coloring added; vegan.

Cocktail Suggestions: White negroni or highball with lemon.
