Del Sannio Imports Brings You
"The Taste of Friendship"

TASTING NOTES

Amaro Santa Croce is a rich, dark liqueur prepared through the careful infusion of aromatic herbs, roots and citrus, blended for an unmistakable taste and aroma. The complex flavor is initially a richly smooth blend of citrus, licorice and sweet caramel that plateaus in mild herbal bitters.

THE HISTORY of AMARO SANTA CROCE

Amaro Santa Croce means love, history and Italian passion. The legend is said to have begun at the end of WWI in Santa Croce del Sannio, a small historic village full of charm and kindness and friendly traditions, in the Sannio hills of southern Italy.

Amaro Santa Croce was said to have been originally created to be given as a festive and heart warming gift for the heroic soldiers to celebrate their return from battle. When WWI ended, this unique recipe was forgotten for nearly six decades. In 1975, the historic recipe was found in a rustic diary of a returning soldier’s girlfriend. The diary contained a black and white photograph and a yellowed note which read, "I will drink your liqueur as if it's an elixir of love."  

The re-discovery of this loving and unique recipe reignited the true passion that is Amaro Santa Croce. Two friends recreated this traditional recipe in 1976, and since then, this ancient recipe has been jealously guarded.  Today, the Del Sannio company returns Amaro Santa Croce to our tables to warm the hearts and souls of family and friends alike. 

This unique Amaro is made with Italian pride by local artisans using only the finest regional ingredients including citrus fruits, roots and therapeutic Sannio herbs for their digestive benefits. These natural flavors create the unmistakable and nostalgic taste and aroma of the Sannio territory, overflowing with love for their land, their village, their history and their local Italian tradition. 

Amaro Santa Croce can be served straight, with ice, or in cocktails both warmed and chilled.
