Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro Amaro 750mL

Sfumato centers on the Chinese Rhubarb (Rabarbaro) root. This isn’t the bright red, tart stalk you find in a summer pie; this is the dried, earthy, and intensely aromatic root that has been a staple of Italian apothecaries for generations.

You get notes of burnt wood, damp earth, and dark cocoa while on the palate you get a fascinating tension between bitter and sweet.The initial hit is peatless smoke and woodsy, followed by a surprising wave of dark berry fruit—think plum or black cherry—and a long, lingering finish of alpine herbs and tobacco.
