Contratto Bitter Liqueur (Liter)

Contratto Bitter Liqueur hails from Piedmont, Italy, a region renowned for its rich winemaking and distilling heritage. This traditional aperitif is crafted using a meticulous process that begins with fine crushing of botanicals such as gentian, cloves, and citrus peels, ensuring the full release of their aromatic potential. The cold extraction method, employing a hydroalcoholic solution, allows these botanicals to macerate for 35 days, capturing their essence before being combined with alcohol and sugar.

The liqueur delivers a vibrant blend of bitter and herbal flavors, balanced by a gentle sweetness. Notes of zesty citrus, warming spices, and subtle floral undertones emerge on the palate, creating a complex yet approachable profile. After blending, the liquid undergoes refrigeration and filtration, resulting in a crystal-clear and smooth finish, which is further refined by a 40-day aging period in steel tanks.

Enjoy Contratto Bitter as the foundation of classic cocktails like a Negroni or Americano, where its bittersweet character shines. It also pairs beautifully with sparkling water or prosecco for a refreshing aperitivo. Its versatility and depth make it an essential addition to any well-curated bar.
