The term Sfumato derives from the Italian word for smoke - ‘fumo’.
It is traditionally associated with a style of Renaissance painting characterized by subtle transitions between areas of dark and light. This speaks directly to this amaro’s profile, which marries a dark smokiness with bitter woodsiness from alpine herbs and notes of sweet alpine berries.
The main ingredient is a special Rabarbaro (rhubarb) variety that grows in Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto.
The producer, which goes by the full name Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti, was first established in 1906.
For most of their first century they were located in the historic Piazza Fiera in the centre of Trento. Today they are located 20 km south of Trento in Aldeno, surrounded by vineyards and apple orchards. As the name would suggest, the firm was and is still today focused on products from traditional herbs, roots, and flowers.
