The Varnelli distillery, in Italys Marche, was founded in 1868 by Girolamo Varnelli. He used his expertise in his regions native, medicinal plants to develop numerous recipes for distillates and bitters, including Amaro Sibillaonce valued as an antimalarial and antipyretic. His son, Antonio, developed additional recipes, in particular the anisette, and was largely responsible for widely diffusing the reputation of Varnelli products throughout Italy. Today, the distillery is in its fourth generation of family ownership and operation. It follows the same historical recipes using native herbs and plants. All ingredients are still ground with mortar and pestle; fires are log-fueled, and the entire process is still executed by hand.

On The Palate: The first impression of sweetness due to honey is then followed by a strong bitter tannic taste with a long-length finish. This roughness is corrected by fine aromas of chestnuts, honey, dried fruit, vanilla and coffee.
