Product details
Named for Milan's Zucca bar (now called the "Camparino") where it was first made and served, this classic amaro is made with chinese rhubarb, citrus zest, cardamom, and other proprietary ingredients. It’s big and rich, but also tart and slightly smoky, with a perfect balance of earthy bitterness and lush sweetness. The rhubarb base in particular lends a bright zing that makes it pop in cocktails where some other amari would weigh the drink down and fall flat.Bottled at 30% abv.
- The smokiness is similar to mezcal - it makes this amaro delicious and unique.
- One of the most delicious things I've ever had.
- Good stuff, great for sipping or in a Black Manhattan.

A bit overly sweet and syrupy for my taste. I prefer Sfumato for a more bitter smoky rhubarb taste.
The smokiness is similar to mezcal - it makes this amaro delicious and unique. It really is a digestif - it has given my wife relief from nightly acid reflux.
Good stuff, great for sipping or in a Black Manhattan (2 parts Rye, 1 part Zucca, dash or two of bitters).
This bottle is another in the line of rhubarb, artichoke or arugula based amaros that have a naturally bitter backbone that tempers the sugars and are among my favorites. This specific bottle has a subtle smoky finish/after taste that I've not come across in amaro before and is quite unexpected and pleasing. Will buy again.
One of the most delicious things I've ever had.
