Lucano’s secret family recipe has been handed down to each generation and includes wormwood, clary sage, holy thistle, musk yarrow, sweet orange, angelica, gentian, cinnamon and aloe, along with other ingredients the Vena family holds tight to its chest. The goldilocks Amaro, Lucano has found worldwide appeal in its versatility: not too bitter, not too sweet, not too hot, not too light. It works straight-up or on the rocks, but also has plenty of flavour to partner with tonic or stronger mixers.
“The profile blends citrusy and floral notes to achieve an excellent balance in both flavor and mouthfeel. Drink the stuff on ice or splash it with sparkling wine or soda, and you’re set.” Serious Eats
“Rich and syrupy with balancing bitterness, enlivening spice and herbal complexity.” 4.5 Stars, Diffords Guide
“It’s a medium style, with a rich complexity and balanced herbal bitterness, and aromatic notes of licorice and cinnamon. Although it’s a frequent go-to as a digestivo, one of my preferred ways to drink it, and a favorite low-ABV drink in general, is with tonic water and lime.” Punch Drink
“Lucano has plenty of complexity but manages to remain modest in sweetness as well as restrained on the bitter front. It’s a well done product, and stands as an amaro that I will certainly return to time and time again.” 9/10 Drink Hacker
