Genziana Spitz is an Italian-born mix of “hydrated alcohol, sugar, gentian herb, and real vegetable pure substances,” per the label, anyway, however what it truly is is a lighter, sweeter model of aperitif with its bitterness clearly evident, but by no means overwhelming.
The distillery affords some extra particulars, which go like this:
This Gentian Root liqueur is predicated on the French behavior of utilizing this wild meadow and mountain pasture rhizome for an aperitif. It may be served “neat” with a squeeze of lemon over ice to carry out the total taste or as it’s extra usually served right here within the US, as a part of a cocktail combine. It’s lighter than Amaro in colour. The Gentian Root is a perennial plant that lives under an altitude of 7200 foot degree or 2200 meters within the mountains of southern Europe. It has been such a well-liked herb that it’s now a protected species that one can’t harvest within the wild. We use sustainable and ecologically delicate gentian root.
Let’s give Spitz a strive.
The nostril exudes that traditional gentian character, bitter and frivolously peppery, with components of cloves, ginger, and nutmeg within the combine. The palate is sweeter than the promise of a gentian-driven spirit would possibly point out, a light-weight brown sugar be aware dusted with extra cloves and ginger, with lingering, Fernet-adjacent bitterness quickly following. A spritz of expressed orange peel provides the end some wanted acidity, whereas a be aware of cinnamon and one more reprise of ginger retains the dessert theme popping.
Consider it as Fernet Lite, or Averna adjoining, and also you’re heading in the right direction. The extra I sip on it (neat), the extra I gravitate to it.
40 proof.
