I don’t know what you can find but I like ‘Prime Uve nere’ (it’s a little harsh but tastes like grappa! - The normal prime uve is a bit like paint thinner). And Nardini's grappas, their riserva has a lot...

if you like mint chocolate, you might enjoy Nardini Amaro (an Italian aperitif w/ chocolate mint notes)

I like both Maraschino and Anisette with cannoli, though given my druthers I prefer Anisette with biscotti/cantucci and Maraschino with a mixed fruit salad. This evening we had dinner at our neighborhood Italian restaurant...

In general they have some interesting, little-seen amari at Bina, like Nardini “Tagliatella”, one of those grappa-maker sideline products that’s quite unusual and delicious. A bit fruity (cherries, maybe?), but...

grapes produce different grappas (shocking I know). I look out for 'nardini' (especially reserve) and ‘prime uve’ but that must be their ‘nere’. But there are so many out there that the only way is to try...

Personally, I think Jaeger is disgusting. I had never heard of amaro so I checked it out online. It sounds lovely! Great suggestion. For anyone else who isn’t familiar, here’s a description of one amaro: Nardini Amaro...

...i suspect Nardini Amaro would work even better (more mint overtones) if you can find it
