Distilleria Gualco
Amaro Soldatini
traditional with a modern twist
Grandpa Marcello Soldatini, who worked as a distiller in Genoa, used to prepare numerous traditional liqueurs, including this amaro made using 12 medicinal plants, spices, and citrus fruits. Today, Giorgio has reinvented this recipe with a modern twist, by adding more sought-after ingredients, such as nearby Ligurian-grown basil and Chinotto di Savona oranges.
