Martini China L'Amaro is a classic Italian bitter liqueur from the house of Martini, the celebrated Turin producer founded in 1863. One of the brand's earliest creations, it belongs to the amaro tradition: a dark, aromatic style designed to be enjoyed before or after a meal.
Its character is built around china, the bark of the cinchona tree prized for its tonic, bitter quality, blended with a complex array of herbs, roots and aromatic botanicals. The result is a distinctive sweet-and-bitter profile. Aromas of orange and citrus mingle with medicinal herbs and a touch of rhubarb, opening onto floral, balsamic and woody notes, while the palate weaves sweet and sour herbs through a vibrant, citrus-tinged finish.
Originally developed in the late nineteenth century as a medicinal tonic, it has long since earned its place as a versatile aperitivo and digestivo. Enjoy it chilled or over ice, or warm it with hot water and a twist of lemon for a comforting cool-weather serve.
