Amaro Angeleno

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Angeleno Amaro is for those who appreciate complexity. Made from California brandy, white wine, valencia orange zest, gentian and chamomile, along with other spices and botanicals, it’s the bitter pinch you never knew you needed. Angeleno Amaro reimagines this time-honored Italian classic with a bold Southern Californian twist. Crafted from grapes native to our sun-soaked vineyards and infused with handpicked botanicals, herbs, and zesty citrus, our amaro offers a unique and delightful bitterness. It’s an exclusive Southern California indulgence — a taste of Italy redefined on our terms.”

TASTING: "Angeleno Amaro’s nose unfolds with a rich blend of sweet and bitter orange peel, earthy roots, and dried herbs. Behind these bold flavors come softer notes of ripe stone fruit and a hint of apple, adding a vinous depth and complexity. Angeleno unfolds on the palate with a burst of sun-ripened fruit followed by invigorating orange zest with chamomile tea. Subtle hints of wild herbs such as verbena and thyme begin to emerge. The finish brings a gentle kick of gentian, a sustained note of harmonious bitterness that asserts Angeleno’s place in the pantheon of Amaro."
