ZONE 02 — AI-COLLATED SUMMARY

AI-ASSISTED · FROM GRADED PUBLIC SOURCES

Amaro Santoni is produced by Gabriello Santoni S.R.L., a family distillery founded in 1957 in Chianciano Terme, Siena, though the producer positions the amaro as 'an homage to Florence and its treasures'. The current recipe was created in 2018 when Stefano Santoni — steward of the distillery since 2013 — revisited a private 1961 formula of his father Gabriello's. The 16% ABV amaro infuses 34 herbs, with rhubarb root, iris flower and olive leaf singled out as headline botanicals. Trade press reports the product has since been rebranded as 'Santoni l'Aperitivo'.
