Faccia Brutto Aperitivo - 750ml

Faccia Brutto Aperitivo is a bittersweet, deeply colored ruby red aperitif that unfolds with a bright, expressive aroma and a layered, inviting palate. Its top notes mingle the zesty brightness of orange with the sweet, slightly tart allure of cherry, instantly awakening the senses. This essence is crafted from organic ingredients, each chosen for their character and balance: gentian for that classic bitter backbone, kola nut to add a subtle earthy warmth, hibiscus for a floral lift and a touch of tartness, fresh orange peel to intensify citrus brightness, and rhubarb root to bring a tart, green-fruity edge. The foundation rests on quassia bark, which delivers a crisp, resinous bitterness that anchors the profile, while a blend of warm spices—think hints of clove, allspice, and cinnamon—rounds the overall experience and prevents the bitterness from overwhelming the palate.

On the palate, Faccia Brutto Aperitivo reveals a suave, velvety texture with a balanced sweetness that counterpoints the bitter core. The orange and cherry notes linger alongside a subtle herbaceous depth, inviting sips that reveal new nuances with each drink. The finish is long and satisfying, carrying a gentle spice warmth and a clean citrus fade that makes it versatile for cocktails or savoring over ice. Its organic provenance and thoughtful botanical cast make it a refined choice for aperitivo hour, whether enjoyed solo, with a splash of soda, or as the foundation for a signature mixed drink.
