About this product
Sardinia’s Bold Return to Botanicals.
CartAmaro is a powerful Sardinian amaro crafted by Silvio Carta, combining the island’s wild herbs with a standout note of PDO Artyčhoke Spinoso Sardo. Enriched with Mirto leaves, rosemary, and artemisia, this liqueur offers a uniquely floral and bitter-sweet profile. With its intense amber hue and Mediterranean heritage, CartAmaro is becoming a favourite among Irish amaro enthusiasts seeking nuanced bitterness and island authenticity.
Why we love it:
CartAmaro beautifully balances floral and herbal intensity with a vibrant bitter edge. The artichoke lends a gentle vegetal bitterness that’s softened by the aromatic warmth of myrtle and rosemary. It’s a contemplative digestif that captures Sardinian terroir in a glass — perfect for Irish drinkers who value craftsmanship, complexity, and a dash of wanderlust.
