Distillery: Nardini Distillery

One of two bittersweet scarlet aperitivos made by Nardini this was introduced as an alternative to Campari in 1779. It owes its hue to ponceau R4, a derivative of coal tar which makes Nardini Bitter suitable for vegetarians, unlike products coloured with cochineal. Other ingredients include bitter orange, sweet orange, Chinese rhubarb root, gentian, vanilla and Roman absinthe. A recommended serve is in equal proportions with Nardini Rabarbaro, whose principal botanical is Chinese rhubarb root, to make the Mezzo-Mezzo Inglese cocktail.

Nardini Bitter Liqueur | 1L Tasting Notes

Nose: Intensely orangey, like opening a box of fresh oranges; distinct pepper, candyfloss and vanilla, fresh citrus zest spray.

Palate: Bitter orange marmalade. Not as bitter, noticeably sweeter and more green and herbaceous than Campari with a syrupy mouthfeel. An explosion of alcohol notes in the mid-palate.

Finish: Bitter finish with faint soapy note and lingering pepper.

Distillery Information

The original Nardini Distillery was established in 1779 near the head of the bridge in Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto region. This location was chosen for its ample water supply which is essential for distilling and also its easy distribution through the series of rivers and canals. Over the years, the distillery has witnessed several battles, the collapse of the Venetian Empire, and the Unification of Italy. Yet through all this change, Nardini has remained a family business now boasting its 7th generation leading the business forward.
