Bordiga Chiot Montamaro

Complex. Balanced. Crafted for the curious palate.
Bordiga Chiot Montamaro is a rich, aromatic amaro born in the heart of the Italian Alps, where ancient mountain herbs meet timeless distilling tradition. Crafted in Cuneo, Piedmont, by the historic Bordiga distillery (established in 1888), this premium herbal liqueur captures the wild spirit of the mountains – fresh, intense, and full of character. Every drop tells a story of alpine meadows, sun-drenched herbs, and crystal-clear air, brought together in perfect harmony through expert craftsmanship.

Chiot Montamaro stands apart for its depth and authenticity. It blends over thirty alpine botanicals – including gentian, artemisia, mint, and mountain roots – meticulously macerated and slowly refined to extract their purest aromas. The result is a smooth, bittersweet liqueur that evolves beautifully on the palate: from herbal freshness to earthy depth, finishing with a clean, lingering bitterness that true amaro lovers will appreciate. It’s the taste of the mountains in liquid form – elegant, complex, and profoundly Italian.

For Irish amaro enthusiasts and adventurous spirits alike, Bordiga Chiot Montamaro offers a refined yet approachable experience. Whether enjoyed neat after dinner, over ice, or as a sophisticated cocktail base, it brings a touch of Piedmontese tradition and mountain purity straight to your glass.
