The fourth release in Brucato’s amaro-based love letter to California agriculture pays homage to the farming community that plays such a central role in the country’s food ecosystem. Highlighting flavors of artichoke, beet, and rhubarb, this is an earthy West Coast bitter liqueur that gives Cynar a run for its money.
