About this product
Sardinia’s Subtly Intense Herbal Revelation.
Amaro Estremista is one of Silvio Carta’s most daring innovations—a Mediterranean herbal liqueur distilled to an extraordinary low ABV of just 3%. Crafted with Sardinia’s native botanicals and infused wholeheartedly in ultra-light base spirits, it allows the island’s noble aromas to shine without warmth. Its fresh, balsamic fragrance, herbal complexity, and sustainability-conscious production have made it a delightful discovery among Irish drinkers seeking gentle sipping experiences with full character.
Why we love it:
Estremista redefines what amaro can be. Despite its feather-light strength, it captures the Mediterranean maquis in full—with juniper, thyme, and herbal intensity beautifully balanced by Sardinian honey. It’s refreshing, harmonious, and endlessly drinkable—ideal for those in Ireland looking for the drama of amaro without the punch of high alcohol.

Tasting notes
Colour
Bright amber with golden reflections.
Nose
Open and aromatic—bursts of local herbs, pine, and thyme with a balsamic, honeyed undercurrent.
Palate
Silky-smooth yet vibrant—a soft bitterness that’s both herbal and balsamic, steady sweetness from honey, and lingering freshness.
Serving suggestion
Unlike traditional heavy amari, Estremista is perfect for daytime sipping or a light aperitivo—best served ice-cold or over crushed ice to keep its fine herbal clarity. It particularly shines during long, relaxed evenings in Ireland, enhancing fresh fish dishes, soft cheeses, or even a zest-light chocolate slice without overwhelming.
