About this product

Intense. Herbal. An explosive Mediterranean spirit.
Amaro Bomba Carta is not your average herbal liqueur — it’s a fiery ode to Sardinia, bottled with boldness, heritage, and unmistakable island soul. Crafted by Silvio Carta, one of Sardinia’s most respected distilleries, this amaro channels the raw beauty of the island — from its wild herbs and citrus groves to its sunbaked hills and salty coastal winds. Every drop bursts with intensity and complexity, honouring both the land and the family who have distilled its essence for generations.

The name “Bomba Carta” perfectly captures the experience — an explosion of aromas and flavours. Expect waves of roasted herbs, bitter orange, myrtle, and gentian, layered with a subtle smoky edge that gives the liqueur its unforgettable depth. Smooth yet assertive, it dances between bitterness and sweetness in perfect balance, leaving a lingering finish that’s both earthy and elegant.

For amaro lovers in Ireland, Bomba Carta offers a true taste of Sardinia’s untamed spirit — vibrant, intense, and unapologetically Mediterranean. Whether after dinner or in a creative cocktail, it brings the warmth of the island straight to your glass.

Why we love it:
This amaro doesn’t whisper; it speaks in vibrant Sardinian dialect. The botanical richness—drawn from the island’s scrub—meets the bitter-sweet complexity of strawberry tree honey in perfect tension. The aroma is herbal and resinous, the flavour an explosion of Mediterranean herbs grounded by balsamic honey. It’s the kind of spirit that commands a slow sip and invites reflection, earning fans among Irish drinkers who appreciate authenticity, depth, and a taste of a wild terroir.

Silvio Carta was established in the early 1950s in Baratili San Pietro, Sardinia, by the now-legendary Silvio Carta. The company began with Vernaccia di Oristano wines, evolving into an eco-conscious distillery under Elio Carta in the 1960s. Today, the third generation continues the legacy—crafting Vernaccia, Sardinian gin, vermouths, liqueurs, grappas, and amari—using local botanicals, discontinued copper distillation, and a deep respect for land and time.
