Part of the fun, being in Italy, is discovering new Amari. Which is how I stumbled into this: https://www.vecchioamarodelcapo.com/en/red-hot-edition/

Vecchio #Amaro del Capo was the first amaro I ever *liked* - sweeter than I usually go for now, but I still use it as "beginner's Amaro" for folks who are just starting out.

But it's from Calabria, so inevitably (I suppose) they’ve come out with a hot-pepper version.

Not bad: adds a gentle burn to the sweetness. Nothing remarkable, but worth a try.
