The Amaro "Leon" Riserva, aged 7 Years, from the Distilleria Castagner is a refined and prestigious version of the classic herbal liqueur, reinterpreted by one of the greatest masters of distillation. It is the result of a long research effort, which stems from the ancient medieval custom of making infusions and elixirs with herbs, for medicinal purposes or as tonic restoratives. The experience gained in the art of distillation has led Roberto Castagner to blend the fascinating world of botanicals with the Venetian tradition of grappa. A fortunate combination that has given rise to an intense, elegant liqueur with extraordinary aromatic richness.
The Amaro "Leon" Riserva 7 Years is born within the walls of one of the most important and famous distilleries in Veneto. Roberto Castagner is universally recognized as one of the greatest interpreters of the alembic, and his grappas are considered on par with the most celebrated distillates from around the world. Unlike classic herbal liqueurs, which are made from a base of pure alcohol, the proposed version by Castagner could not fail to include among the ingredients one of its most important and prestigious labels: the Grappa Riserva aged in barrique for 7 years. It is this intense and elegant distillate that is blended with alcoholic infusions of flowers, herbs, roots, and spices, in order to enrich its taste and aromatic complexity. A choice that makes the liqueur unique in its kind and characterizes it, both from a territorial perspective and with the style of the great Treviso Master.
The herbal liqueur Amaro "Leon" Riserva aged 7 Years is one of the excellences of the Distilleria Castagner. It is the expression of talent and artisanal know-how, rooted in a long historical tradition. In the glass, it presents a beautiful dark amber color, with bright copper and mahogany reflections. The olfactory profile is rich and multifaceted, with aromas reminiscent of soft oriental spices, rhubarb, gentian, mountain herbs, wildflowers, vegetal nuances of dandelion and balsamic plants, on a warm and soft with ripe yellow fruit. The sip is warm, complex, and deep, with a very persistent finish that returns to balsamic sensations.
