About Faccia Brutto Amaro Gorini
Faccia Brutto Amaro Gorini is a Brooklyn-crafted amaro liqueur produced by T. Edward Wines, Ltd., blending 13 botanicals like gentian, rhubarb root, fennel seed, and sweet and bitter orange, rested in neutral grain spirit, barrel-aged in used whiskey barrels, sweetened with organic cane sugar, and finished with fresh orange peel. At 22% ABV (44 proof) and priced at $49.38 for 750ml, it stands out for its balanced bittersweet profile with warm spices, honoring southern Italian traditions through an inventive New York twist. What makes it special is its complexity—citrus-forward yet earthy and spiced, with a smooth, viscous body from Solera-style aging—making it versatile for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails like Negronis and Paper Planes. Ideal for amaro enthusiasts seeking a not-too-bitter, holiday-warm digestif, it compares favorably to classics like Averna or Cynar by offering brighter orange notes and American oak influence at a premium yet accessible price point in the artisanal amaro category.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose bursts with pleasant, lovely aromas of bold citrus peel, primarily orange and lemon, intertwined with earthy gentian and rhubarb root. Subtle floral hints and warm spices like cinnamon and star anise emerge, evoking a holiday warmth. Fennel seed adds a gentle anise lift, promising layered depth.
👅 Palate
Bold bittersweet citrus opens the palate, balanced by subtle sweetness and earthy bitterness from gentian and rhubarb. Mid-palate reveals warm spices—cinnamon, clove, star anise—alongside licorice and floral notes for a full-bodied, elegant richness. The medium-to-full body delivers a smooth, slightly viscous texture that coats the mouth richly.
✨ Finish
Long and bittersweet, with lingering orange zest, gentle spice, and earthy root bitterness. A warm, slightly dry sensation persists with touches of star anise and cinnamon.
