Distilled in Zola Pedrosa, near Bologna, this traditional amaro made with over 40 herbs, including vanilla and orange peels.
Amaro Montenegro was first produced in 1885, following a lengthy period of experimentation by Stanislao Cobianchi. A famous distiller and herbalist, Cobianchi named his liqueur after Princess Elena of Montenegro, Queen of Italy at the time after her marriage to Vittorio Emmanuele III. The drink soon became popular throughout Italy, leading Gabriele D’Annunzio to call it, "il liquore delle virtù," or "the liqueur of the virtues".
Today Amaro Montenegro is one of the most prominent and popular digestivi on the Italian market — the brand's advertising slogan is "Sapore vero".
