liquori delle sirene

Based on Lake Garda in the Bay of the Sirens, Elisa Carta is both herbalist and sommelier with a passion for following old family recipes. She has crafted a range of artisan products that are distinctly of Lake Garda and the surrounding lands. Small batched Amaro, Bitters and an Aperitivo made with natural ingredients such as flowers, herbs, roots and fruit make for true and expressive products that are true to the territory.

Bitter Bianco with it’s copper colour and saffron reflections. Intense and pungent notes of rhubarb on the nose followed by both oriental sweet spice of tamarind, Mediterranean citrus and sandalwood. On the palate orange blossoms and rose hip with bitter notes of gentian and quinine.

Canto Amaro is made primarily with the infusions of lemons, thistle, rose berries and vanilla. The use of timut pepper also adds complexity and structure to this wonderful elixir. Served chilled or straight with a slice of lemon or soda. Excellent in classic cocktails as a bitter or used alongside with vermouth.

Aperitivo Americano Rosso is made with with all natural ingredients. This new Americano inspired by the classic Venetian Spritz brings you all the flavours of the white wines of Garda and the maceration of botanicals such as gentian that brings the ‘Americante’ bitter expression of this aperitif. The red colour comes from Hibiscus and Monarda flowers, plus red potato juice. On the nose scents of vanilla, red pepper, coriander and rose petals. Excellent on the rocks or mixed as a cocktail.
