About this product
Sardinia’s Subtly Intense Herbal Revelation.
Amaro Estremista is a revolution in the world of bitters — the first of its kind to carry the full intensity of a traditional Italian amaro at just 3% ABV. Crafted by the legendary Silvio Carta Distillery in Sardinia, this extraordinary liqueur redefines what low-alcohol drinking can be. It’s bold yet beautifully light, aromatic yet refreshing — a perfect embodiment of Sardinia’s wild heart with a modern, mindful twist.
Each sip tells the story of the island: the gentle sea breeze, sun-dried herbs, and citrus groves that shape its character. With a base of Mediterranean botanicals including myrtle, gentian, wild fennel, and orange peel, Amaro Estremista offers the complexity and depth of a classic amaro, but in an unexpectedly delicate, approachable format.
Perfect for those in Ireland who love rich Italian flavour but prefer a lighter drinking experience, this is bitterness reinvented — smooth, aromatic, and impossible to forget.
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.
