What is amaro lucano?

Amaro Lucano is an Italian herbal liqueur produced in Basilicata, a region in southern Italy. It is made from a secret recipe of over 30 herbs, roots, and spices, which are infused into alcohol and then aged in oak barrels for several months. The result is a bitter, aromatic liqueur with a complex flavor profile that includes notes of citrus, herbs, and spices.

Amaro Lucano has been produced by the Lucano family since 1894 and has become one of the most popular amaro liqueurs in Italy. It is often served as a digestif or used in cocktails to add depth and complexity to the drink.

The liqueur is named after the Lucania region, where it is produced, and its distinctive bottle features an image of a deer, which is a symbol of the region. Amaro Lucano is typically enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it can also be used in cocktails such as the Lucano Spritz or the Lucano Sour.
