Salento, a land of ancient traditions and deep cultural roots, is the stage for a unique sensory experience offered by the bitter 'Menamè' Seimilaquadri. Among the sun-kissed fields and the flowers and berries steeped in memories, an extraordinary product emerges, a union of the producers' passion and the richness of the territory itself. This bitter is an authentic expression of Salento and stands out for its unique characteristics, with the pink pepper being particularly significant – the aromatic heart of all Seimilametriquadri spirits, harvested only from the inaugural tree planted in this Salento land. It's not just about gin but botanical spirits, a choice driven by the idea of creating something authentically different, a tribute to the limitation of the land that doesn't allow juniper to grow.
The magic of 'Menamè' bitter begins in the lush Puglian soil of Seimilametriquadri, with an area precisely of six thousand square meters, as the name also clarifies. Production starts with a high-quality alcoholic base obtained from agricultural origin alcohol. This base serves as a canvas to paint a picture of contemporary flavors, a bitter that presents itself as sweet without being cloying, narrating a unique sensory story through its organoleptic characteristics. 'Menamè' is not just a drink but a perceptual journey that invites you to explore this region with every sip because, as Cesare Pavese says, "A country means not being alone, knowing that in people, plants, and land there is something of yours, that even when you're not there, it remains there waiting for you."
Puglia and Salento, with their distinctive fragrances, emerge in the scents and tastes of Amaro Menamè. The soft notes of mandarin elegantly intertwine with the bitterness of olive leaves and chicory roots. The spicy hints of pink pepper add a lively touch, while the freshness of wild mint completes the taste profile. This harmonious blend, perfect for consumption after meals, also proves ideal for mixology, thanks to its citrusy and bitter note that makes it an extraordinary aperitif.
