Amaro Camatti is the classic amaro of Genoa, Italy, made by Sangallo Distillery with almond, cinchona, mint, bitter orange and gentian. Bottled at 20% ABV (40 proof), it was named World’s Best Bitter at the 2023 World Liqueur Awards.

The Story of Amaro Camatti

In Genoa, Amaro Camatti is everywhere: nearly every bar and café in the province keeps a bottle on the back bar. It is produced by Sangallo Distillery Cinque Terre, which distills or macerates its botanicals in small groups for three to four weeks in neutral grain spirit before sweetening the blend with beet sugar syrup. In 2020 the bottle was redesigned in a throwback style inspired by its 1950s label. Light and refreshing yet complex, Amaro Camatti sits right between an aperitivo and a digestivo.
