Anselmo Fernet - 700 ml
Anselmo Fernet originates from the Piedmont region of Italy, specifically from the historic city of Turin. It is produced by Anselmo Torino, a company with a legacy dating back to 1854 when Carlo Anselmo established the brand to showcase traditional subalpine liqueur craftsmanship. The distillery is dedicated to preserving over a century of history, often featuring original 20th-century texts on its labels to honour its founding heritage.
Spirit Description
This spirit is a bold and authentic amaro, presenting a dark, opaque ebony colour with a full body and an oily texture. The aroma is intense and medicinal, dominated by cooling peppermint, myrrh, and a complex array of earthy roots and bitter herbs. On the palate, it delivers a powerful and bracing bitterness balanced by subtle notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, and a distinct herbal spiciness. The finish is exceptionally long and refreshing, leaving a persistent cooling sensation of menthol and deep botanical bitterness. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
Food Pairing
The intense bitterness and herbal complexity of this Fernet make it a classic digestif, best enjoyed after a heavy meal. It pairs exceptionally well with rich, dark chocolate desserts or a bitter chocolate tart, which can stand up to its medicinal profile. For a savoury match, it complements strong, pungent cheeses like Gorgonzola or aged Pecorino. In a more casual setting, it is traditionally paired with a small cup of espresso or used as a 'corretto' to add depth to morning coffee.
