- Made from rhubarb rhizomes over around 12 months

Expect an herbal, rooty nose of rhubarb, caramel and faint citrus zest. The palate is bittersweet, with a gently smoky rhubarb root character, cooked apple and liquorice, finishing with a pleasant bitterness and a cola-like note.
Rabarbaro is a long-standing Italian amaro style built on the bitter root of rhubarb rather than the tart garden stalks, which gives it an earthy, smoky edge.
A good pick for amaro drinkers and bartenders looking for a lighter-strength bitter liqueur with plenty of character.
