Italy’s heritage in herbal liqueurs has long been celebrated – and this year, a new global ranking confirms it. In the TasteAtlas list of the ten best herbal liqueurs in the world, five of the top spots go to Italian creations: Averna, Strega, Amaro Montenegro, Amaro Lucano, and Galliano. Their presence in the list highlights how deeply Italian craftsmanship continues to shape the culture of botanical spirits worldwide.
Italian amari are more than drinks – they are traditions passed down through generations, rooted in geography and family history. Each one draws from local herbs, citrus peels, roots, and spices to create a balance of sweetness and bitterness that reflects the land where it was born. The five Italian liqueurs that made the ranking tell a story of regional identity as much as flavor.
