History & Origin

The Amaro Negroni swaps Campari for Amaro Montenegro in the beloved equal-parts Negroni framework. Amaro Montenegro, produced in Bologna since 1885 using a blend of 40 botanicals including bitter orange, nutmeg, and coriander, brings a softer, more citrus-forward bitterness than Campari while maintaining the herbal complexity the Negroni demands. The substitution has appeared in notable bar programs across Italy and the United States.
