A bittersweet icon with a vegetal soul and a cult following to match.
The Artichoke Amaro
Born in post-war Venice in 1952, Cynar is the amaro that dared to be different, building its flavor around the humble artichoke. Don’t let the vegetable fool you; this is a complex and unexpectedly lovable bottle of bitter elegance. The nose is earthy and herbal, with whispers of caramel. The palate begins with a soft sweetness before diving into a rich, savory bitterness that is deep, green, and grounding.
Crafted from 13 herbs and botanicals, Cynar is a study in balance. Its low ABV makes it endlessly versatile, and there’s a reason bartenders treat it like a secret handshake. In a world chasing sweetness, Cynar is your bittersweet breather.
How to Enjoy
A fantastic digestivo on its own. It also shines in a "Cin-Cyn" spritz (Cynar, gin, lemon, simple syrup, soda) or as a replacement for Campari in a darker, earthier Negroni.
