Another Italian excellence conquers the world. Amaranca, Amaro Nobile dell'Etna based on wild oranges and medicinal herbs from Volcano, has conquered the Gold Medal in the Best Amaro in the World category in the competition World Liqueur Awards 2021. An extraordinary recognition for the Romeo family, owner of the amaro and inventor of the first Sicilian amaro based on wild orange. Born in 1998, Amaranca is in effect the spearhead of the Romeo company.
The intuition of Santo Romeo
The passion and competence of the Romeo family made the difference right from the start for the creation of the Amaranca. An intuition born of Santo Romeo and by his sons Marco and Antonello who immediately gathered support in Italy up to international consecration. A prestige for the Sicilia that brings with it the right charm. Amaranca it is in fact a bitter based on wild orange through the processing of the fruit to which it adds medicinal herbs and roots collected on the slopes of the volcano, but the ingredients are top secret.
Victory at the World Liqueur Awards 2021 and international success
The bitter bewitched the jury of the World Liqueur Awards 2021 for the round balance: bitter at the right point thanks to the caramel that completes the taste of herbs, roots and orange. The latter predominates but does not invade, thus offering those who taste it a unique and unrepeatable experience. The finish is instead sealed by rhubarb, yet another surprise that captures the attention of the most passionate.
The victory at the World Liqueur Awards 2021 comes after a path of certificates and awards that have prompted the Romeo company to make Amaranca known also abroad.
