Faccia Bruto Amaro Centerbe: The Traditional Splendor of the Alpine Elixir
The Amaro Centerbe Liqueur (Faccia Bruto) 750ml pays homage to the historic medicinal liqueurs of Abruzzo and the Italian Alps. Its recipe is based on the maceration of a selection of fresh herbs—sage, rosemary, peppermint, tarragon, thyme, and lemon balm—on a high-proof alcohol base, with highly measured sweetness and a natural emerald hue.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is it recommended to serve and enjoy Faccia Bruto's Amaro Centerbe?
Given its alcohol content (45% Vol.), it is traditional to serve it neat in small glasses, lightly chilled (12°C-14°C) or very cold.
Is it normal for the liqueur's color to change over time?
Yes, by using natural chlorophyll instead of artificial coloring, the color can evolve toward olive tones with prolonged light exposure.
