Paolucci Amaro CioCiaro is an Italian herbal amaro produced by Paolucci Liquori S.r.l. in the Ciociaria region of Lazio, central Italy. Based on a recipe dating to 1873, it is made by infusing a secret blend of aromatic herbs in hydrated alcohol, with bitter orange as the primary botanical. It is bottled at 30% ABV and typically retails for $15 to $32.
The palate entry is bittersweet, intensely herbal and earthy but refreshingly orange citrusy; the tasty midpalate is marked by heightened sweetness and a more mineral-like core flavor. Finish is savory and bittersweet.
