Amaro Yerba is an Italian craft amaro made with Argentine yerba mate. It was born from the meeting of South American mate culture and the Italian liqueur-making tradition.

Yerba mate, known by its botanical name Ilex paraguariensis, is a South American plant. Its leaves are used to prepare mate, an infusion tied to a daily ritual of sharing. It is the leading botanical of Amaro Yerba: more in our guide to yerba mate liqueur.

The craft process begins with a cold infusion of Argentine yerba mate, together with its woody part, in a water and alcohol solution inside steel vats. This phase extracts its aromas. It is then aged in oak casks, which let the product breathe, mature and develop its aromatic profile.

Amaro Yerba has a vegetal, woody profile. On the nose, hay, tobacco and a light smoky note emerge. On the palate, the first spicy hints give way to notes of honey and the characteristic bitterness of yerba mate, reminiscent of tea leaves.

Amaro Yerba is 33% ABV.
