In the Middle Ages, while the learned monks of monasteries and abbeys were transcribing and restoring ancient texts, they also cultivated the herbs and plants necessary for the preparation of tinctures, teas, and liqueurs. Amaro della Sacra is the result of painstaking historical research of these traditions that were in use for hundreds of years in Europe.

The ingredients are all natural: leaves, flowers, seeds, roots, resins, spices and barks, some typical of the territory of Piedmont such as gentianella and hops, others more ‘exotic,’ including the vanilla of Madagascar, the green cardamom of the Indies, the myrrh of the Middle East, as well as the chinchona bark of South America.

Amaro della Sacra is created by macerating the ingredients in grain alcohol and ageing until all the elements are well incorporated. On the Amaro della Sacra label there is an image designed in 1925 by Francesco Carandini, an Italian historian and poet from Piedmont. It depicts a Benedictine monk intent on the study of an  ancient text, entitled “Vox Dei Silentium”; (silence is the voice of God). In the background, is the Sacra di San Michele, an ancient landmark abbey perched on the summit of Mount Pirchiriano, near the city of Turin, in Piedmont.

Ingredients: gentianella, hop, vanilla from Madagascar, green cardamom, myrrh, chinchona bark.

Manufacturing method: cold maceration of each botanical in 96° proof wheat based alcohol in small steel tanks, blend, refinement in tank for 5 months, filtration and bottling
