Amaro is a type of wine that has been aromatized with herbs, citrus, roots, and fortified. It makes a perfect opening or finish to a meal. Amari has a long history, tracing back to Italian monks who made medicinal elixir with roots and herbs, meant to stimulate appetite and digestion. The Italian category of Amaro is wide-ranging. Cocktail bars around the country are putting amaro in the center of their creative and sometimes avant-garde concoctions. Complexly spiced and both sweet and bracingly bitter. Herbal flavors, vinous texture, and depth of flavor are harmonious and familiar to traditional wine drinkers and add a welcome breadth when used in mixed drinks.
