ZONE 02 — AI-COLLATED SUMMARY

AI-ASSISTED · FROM GRADED PUBLIC SOURCES

Amaro dell'Orso is a 32% ABV Italian amaro produced by Gagliano Marcati S.r.l., a family distillery based in Sona, near Verona, whose company history dates to 1919 (confirmed directly on the producer's own site) and whose house brands trace back to 1860. The product is not featured on the producer's own current product pages but its existence, ABV and bottle size are corroborated by an EU trademark registration and multiple independent retailer listings, one of which (eMAG) carries an internal ABV inconsistency that does not undermine the 32% figure but is flagged for transparency. Flavour is described as citrus-forward with spice, vanilla, Mediterranean herbs, nutmeg and wormwood, giving a graduated bitterness with a fine sweetness and a long finish.

AI-collated from the graded sources below; adversarially re-verified 2026-07-09 (founding year upgraded to direct producer-source citation; ABV cross-check surfaced an eMAG internal discrepancy, disclosed rather than suppressed); operator review pending

A traditional Italian amaro sold under the Marcati house brand of Gagliano Marcati S.r.l. Built on a bright citrus base layered with spice, vanilla, Mediterranean herbs, nutmeg and wormwood, it carries a graduated bitterness balanced by a fine sweetness and a long, delicate finish. Product existence and specification are confirmed via EU trademark registration and independent retail listings; a dedicated producer product page could not be located at time of research. Note: one retail listing (eMAG) shows an internally inconsistent ABV field (21%) that conflicts with its own page title (32%) and with the corroborating Randler listing; 32% is retained as the best-supported figure.

[1]AEUIPO Trademark Record — AMARO DELL'ORSO (No. 018508519) · EUIPO / TrademarkElite · regulatory · accessed 2026-07-09Confirms trademark ownership by Gagliano Marcati S.r.l., filed 5 Jul 2021, registered 21 Oct 2021, Class 33 Bitters. Cross-corroborated via a second independent trademark index (tmsearch.ai) during re-verification since direct re-fetch returned HTTP 403.
  2. [2]AGagliano Marcati — Home (EN) · Gagliano Marcati S.r.l. · producer-official · accessed 2026-07-09Confirms company identity, location (Via Molina 25, Sona, Verona) and house-brand tradition (Marcati, Tenuta Marcati, Ercole Gagliano since 1860, Luce d'Ambra); does not list Amaro dell'Orso directly. Re-verified this session: page mentions 1860 (Ercole Gagliano line) but not 1919 — founding year 1919 is sourced separately to the producer's Our Story page (src-our-story).
  3. [3]AGagliano Marcati — Our Story (EN) · Gagliano Marcati S.r.l. · producer-official · accessed 2026-07-09Directly confirms founding year: "Our story starts in 1919, when the brothers Pietro and Luigi returned from the Great War and took over the historical Pharmacy of Veronella." Fetched and verified this session; supersedes the prior unfetched WebSearch-snippet citation.

Re-fetched and confirmed this session; internally consistent (title and body agree on 32%).
  6. [6]CDigestiv Amaro dell'Orso Gagliano 32% 70cl — product listing · eMAG (Romania) · other · accessed 2026-07-09CAUTION — internally inconsistent on re-fetch: page title/URL state 32% ABV but the live product specification table lists "Alcool % : 21". Likely a retailer catalogue data-entry error (mismatched spec field), not a genuine 21% variant — no other source corroborates 21%. Downgraded from prior treatment as clean independent ABV confirmation; still used to corroborate bottle size (70cl) and brand only.
