Amaro Lucano 28% 70cl

Amaro Lucano Bottling Note

An Italian liqueur created in 1894 by Pasquale Vena, a pastry chef by trade who knew his spices and who became the official supplier of the House of Savoy in 1900 (hence the Savoy flag on the label). When Italy was first unified in 1861 it was the House of Savoy monarchs of Piedment (officially the Kingdom of Sardinia made up of both the island and Piedmont) who became the new monarchs of the Kingdom of Italy. In 1900 Umberto I was on the throne, but shortly after Amaro Lucano was adopted by the royal household, Umberto (or Humbert) was assassinated by Gaetano Bresci.
