Expert's Description

Bitteroma Bianco Silvio Carta is an Italian Bitter from Sardinia, bottled at 25.3% alcohol.

The bitter is the bright counterpart to the family's Bitteroma range, and its label draws on Italian Futurism, an art movement known for its explosive colours and forms. Like the rest of the range, it is made in Baratili San Pietro in Sardinia, where Silvio Carta has, since the early 1950s, been turning the island's raw materials into wine, vermouth and bitter.

Palate

Viscous and explosive on the palate, with a bold flavour that engages the whole mouth and cleanses the taste buds.

A very long finish that keeps surprising with new layers of herbs and citrus.
