Rhubarb Pharmacy Zampetti

Elixir with a delicately bitter taste, an unmistakable aroma and a pleasant and persistent aftertaste, is still prepared according to an ancient recipe of dr. Ernesto Zampetti, founder of the Pharmacy of the same name in Pontremoli in the province of Massa Carrara in the early 1900s
The heart of the bitter consists of the rhubarb root, Rheum Palmatum, which comes from plants over four years of age (high-quality "pink slit" quality). Dried and reduced to fragments, it releases its aromas resting in an infusion of alcohol and pure water from Lunigiana. Combined with china calissaia, medicinal herbs, alcohol and sugar, after maturation, it gives a liqueur that is appreciated both tasted smooth and included in the many cocktails offered by various bartenders.
