ZONE 02AI-COLLATED SUMMARY

AI-ASSISTED · FROM GRADED PUBLIC SOURCES

Amara is a Sicilian blood-orange amaro made by Rossa Soc. Agr. Srl at Misterbianco, on the Etna slope just south of Catania. Its defining character is the hand-peeled zest of Arancia Rossa di Sicilia IGP (Tarocco) oranges from the producer's own groves, infused in grain alcohol separately from a blend of wild Etna herbs, then married with Etna spring water and sugar. The result is a citrus-forward, bittersweet digestivo — candied blood orange and orange blossom over a gentle bitter backbone.

SUBCATEGORY classicoRING coreTRADITION Amaro italianoSELF-IDENTIFIED amaro from Sicilian blood orange bark and wild Etna herbs

Amara BARK is a limited, numbered variant of the house Amara recipe that infuses the bark of Sicilian Blood Orange PGI trees, a pruning by-product usually discarded, alongside wild herbs gathered on Etna. The bark rests in the infusion for around six months with Etna spring water and a small amount of sugar, giving a woodier, more resinous edge to the base bittering agent.
