Enrico Toro Amaro 72 a classic, bittersweet Italian amaro crafted by the Enrico Toro Distillery in Tocco da Casauria, within the Abruzzo region of Italy. First commercialized by pharmacist Beniamino Toro in 1817, the liqueur builds on a centuries-old herbal elixir tradition tracing back to local Benedictine monks.
The "72" in its name represents the 72 distinct wild and cultivated mountain herbs, roots, and botanicalshand-picked from the nearby Apennine Mountains and Maiella slopes. A defining feature of this amaro is the infusion of the distillery's signature Centerba—a high-proof, intense herbal spirit—giving it a distinct, punchy profile.
