Sirene ‘Amarulivo’ Vino Amaro Veneto quince pasteFor 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
