The Liquore delle Sirene line of bitters and liqueurs is the personal project of Elisa Carta, a trained sommelier and olive oil taster, and a passionate herbalist. Elisa makes her liqueurs near Lake Garda, using recipes handed down to her that have been in her family for generations. They are artisanal creations made from herbs, flowers, roots and fruit; botanical ingredients that are infused singly in alcohol, then combined to give complex, distinctive aroma and flavor. Most of the botanicals she uses come from around the lake with the exception of some from the Far East that do not grow in Italy but have been traditionally used in Italian liqueurs for centuries, such as Chinese rhubarb root. Her Canto Amaro is a traditional and terroir-driven amaro made primarily with infusions from Lake Garda botanicals such as lemons, thistle, rose berries, and sweet and bitter orange; it has a medium bitter flavor, partly from thistle and partly from citrus, and finishes with the sweetness of vanilla and pungency of the timut pepper (similar to Sichuan pepper) and ginger.
