Cappelletti Pasubio Vino Amaro

Pasubio is a true taste of the Dolomite Mountains in the Trentino region. On a base of rich aged wine you'll find notes of blueberries, pine and smoke, together with bitter alpine herbs. It is rare among amari to feature mountain berries.

The mugo pine (pinus mugo) grows on rocky upland slopes constantly exposed to the elements. In springtime, its buds and young cones are harvested from the wild and left to dry in the sun over the summer and into the fall. Like many alpine plants, the Mugo Pine evolved from an ancient herbal remedy to a traditional flavoring of amari as well as eau-de-vie and liqueur. It gives Amaro Pasubio a flavor profile evocative of the region.
