Amaro Bonaventura is a passionate tribute to 5 generations of distillers in the Maschio family and their heritage, spanning almost three centuries.

A classic tale of our lands, made of romance, of travels near and far, of sacrifice, passion and hard work.
An adventure that begins its journey on top of the Veneto hills, embraced by the radiance of the bright star of Venice, the western gateway for eastern merchants, their millenary cultures, their fragrant spices and exotic perfumes.
The same hills that were home to the fruit of grapes, whose skins were used to produce grappa, icon of a generous and rural society, testing ground of the distiller’s craftmanship, and final redemption of a simple, discarded raw material.
And it was grappa that the Maschio family distilled in traveling stills, following their countrymen looking for their fortune across Europe. And again grappa was the pillar of the Distilleria Bonaventura Maschio, founded by Bonaventura in the early 1900. Years of experiments and research on all sides of high-quality spirits eventually led the Maschio family to a new revolutionary frontier: the distillation of the whole ripe grape, a remarkable innovation of the late twentieth century that made Prime Uve a milestone in the history of Italian distillation.
The same Prime Uve is behind the inspiration for Amaro Bonaventura in its two versions: the complexity of the grape distillate becomes the real spirit in the spirit.

ERBE

FIORI

“Erbe e fiori” is a fresh take on the Amaro Bonaventura the company used to produce during the past century, keeping the original focus on flowers as our true inspiration. If Prime Uve Bianche is the quintessential expression of the personality of a vineyard, with “Erbe e fiori” we add the scents of the garden. This Amaro is like an imaginary stroll in a blooming field: you will experience floral notes of geranium, rosewood, linden and cornflower. The pleasant bitter side is granted, among others, by nettle and bogbean, with a fresh citrusy scent on top. The closing is enriched by echoes of apple and pear, a gift from the grape distillate that inspired the whole bouquet.

FIORI

si ispira al nostro vecchio Amaro Bonaventura del secolo scorso, in cui i fiori sono l’elemento fondante, la nostra eredità.  Se Prime Uve Bianche è l’espressione della vigna da cui viene, con “Erbe e fiori” uniamo alla vigna anche il giardino profumato.  In questo amaro, che rappresenta idealmente una passeggiata in un giardino fiorito, troviamo note floreali di geranio, legno di rosa, tiglio e fiordaliso; accompagnate dall’amaro dell’ortica e del trifoglio fibrino, e rinfrescate dai sentori agrumati di arancio e cedro. La chiusura dell’amaro è arricchita dalle sensazioni di mela e pera, tipiche dell’acquavite d’uva.

SPEZIE

“Erbe e spezie” is the amaro that stems from Prime Uve Nere, our most meditative grape distillate with its spicy and toasty notes, a result of aging in wood.
And spices are indeed the scents that characterize “Amaro Bonaventura” Erbe e spezie the most. The very territory of which this Amaro is an expression, the region of Venice, has been a crossroad of cultures, of eastern merchants and their opulence, of scents and flavours pouring in from all over the world.
The spicy side of its complex structure is firmly backed by cinnamon, vanilla and tonka beans. The bitter side counts gentian, cinchona, clary sage and bitter orange; fennel and caraway, known as Persian cumin, add a delicate balsamic touch.
