Call or chat to determine availability
Gotha No. 7 ½ Settemmezzo Amaro Liqueur, Italy, is a refined bitter artichoke liqueur that honors the traditions of Bologna with a bold yet balanced profile. Crafted from the rare Carciofo Violetto di San Luca, an artichoke variety found only in the hills outside Bologna, Settemmezzo is a uniquely expressive amaro that seamlessly bridges the roles of both aperitivo and digestivo. Rich in herbal nuance and grounded in cultural heritage, this bottling brings together complexity, craft, and a nod to Italian folklore.
Product Details:
- Type: Artichoke-based Amaro Liqueur
- ABV: 30%
- Key Botanicals: Carciofo Violetto di San Luca, chinotto peel, rabarbaro
- Flavor Profile: Bittersweet artichoke, fresh herbs, citrus, licorice, orange, light smoke
- Usage: Versatile for aperitivo or digestivo; excellent neat or in cocktails
- Founder: Ergin Allko
- Distillation Notes: All Gotha spirits are crafted with purified Adriatic seawater to enhance minerality and structure
Sensory Description:
On the nose, Settemmezzo offers fresh herbal aromatics layered with sweet citrus and a hint of earthiness. The palate follows with vivid impressions of artichoke and bitter orange, supported by savory licorice, warm spice, and the subtle smokiness of rabarbaro. Its finish is long and harmoniously bittersweet, making it equally satisfying as a solo sipper or cocktail component.
Distiller's Background:
Gotha Spiriti Nobili was founded by Ergin Allko, an Albanian-born bartender who moved to Bologna at age 18 and spent nearly two decades honing his craft before launching his own spirits company. Alongside his brother Donald and collaborators Umberto Menna and Riccardo Francesco de Campagnoli, Ergin blends tradition with innovation, most notably through the use of purified Adriatic seawater in every spirit. Settemmezzo pays tribute to both place and memory: its name comes from a once-outlawed card game played in Bologna’s osterias, and its formulation captures the terroir of the San Luca hillside in liquid form.
Serving Suggestions:
- Neat or over ice for a contemplative sipper before or after meals
- In a spritz with tonic or soda water and an orange twist
- As a base in amaro-forward cocktails like a Settemmezzo Negroni
- With aged spirits such as rye or mezcal to highlight its bittersweet complexity
- Serve slightly chilled at 50–55°F to preserve its herbal nuance
Why Gotha No. 7 ½ Settemmezzo Amaro Liqueur?
This amaro stands apart for its use of rare, site-specific artichokes and the unmistakable finesse of Gotha’s blending style. A deeply expressive liqueur that honors both Bolognese tradition and contemporary craft, Settemmezzo is a must-have for lovers of thoughtful, bittersweet spirits.
