Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo
Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo
Description
Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo is produced by the Caffo family distillery in Limbadi, Calabria — one of the most popular Italian amaros, made from 29 herbs and plants from the Calabrian countryside at 35% ABV. Distinctive for the Calabrian recommendation to serve it frozen — the cold temperature softens the bitterness and highlights the herbal complexity.
The Caffo family has been distilling in Calabria since 1894. Amaro del Capo (“amaretto of the cape”) refers to Capo Vaticano, the headland at the tip of Calabria’s western coast where the distillery is located. The 29 herbs and botanicals include eucalyptus, liquorice, mandarin orange, and wild fennel — many sourced from the surrounding Calabrian countryside.
Tasting Notes
