Tasting Notes
Campari is a legendary Italian aperitif, first crafted in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara. Renowned for its vibrant red hue and unmistakable bittersweet flavor, it is made by infusing a secret blend of herbs, fruits, and aromatic plants in alcohol and water. The result is a uniquely complex spirit, with notes of bitter orange, cherry, clove, and a subtle herbal undertone that has made it a global icon of aperitivo culture.
With an alcohol content of 25%, Campari is a versatile ingredient in numerous classic cocktails such as the Negroni, Americano, and Boulevardier. It is equally enjoyable on its own with soda and ice, garnished with an orange slice. Its bold and refreshing profile pairs beautifully with the ritual of aperitivo, embodying the essence of Italian social gatherings. - Aaron C
