Description

Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro is a bright, floral, and citrus-led amaro with a crisp bitterness grounded in gentian root and cinchona bark. At ~17.5% ABV, it’s light enough to be very versatile—great as a low-ABV aperitif, spritz component, or mixer with whiskey or sparkling wine. Origins & Craftsmanship Produced by Lo-Fi Aperitifs, based in Napa, California.  It uses a white wine base, fortified with neutral grape spirits.  Infused with botanicals including gentian root, cinchona bark, orange oil, hibiscus, grapefruit, ginger, exotic flowers, “bois de rose” (rosewood-type flavor), bitter root extracts, and others.  Sweetened with cane sugar and grape concentrate to give a richer mouthfeel.  Specs Attribute Detail ABV / Proof 17.5% ABV (about 35 proof) Format 750 ml bottle  Color & Style Light/sweet amaro (aperitif style) — floral, bitter, citrus & herbaceous notes.  Tasting Profile Sensory Element Notes Nose / Aroma Sweet citrus fruit (orange, grapefruit), ginger, exotic flowers, subtle spices, floral/herbal top notes.  Palate / Taste The gentian root delivers a clean bitterness; cinchona adds a medicinal bark note. Then layers of citrus, mild bitterness, floral and spice undertones.
