Mazzetti Amaretto

Step into the world of refined Italian digestifs with Mazzetti Amaretto, a liqueur that embodies centuries of Piedmontese tradition and premium craftsmanship. Founded in 1846 and still owned by the Mazzetti family in Altavilla Monferrato, Mazzetti d’Altavilla has perfected the art of spirit-making over nearly two centuries. Their Amaretto is a marriage of history and artisanal finesse, made following a secret family method that yields a signature almond‑spicy profile you can only find in authentic Italian liqueurs.

At 25% alcohol by volume, this Amaretto strikes a delicate balance—rich enough to offer depth, yet gentle enough for relaxed sipping or culinary use. Its scent is filled with deep bitter‑almond overtones; once tasted, the palate is greeted with velvety sweetness that channels marzipan, softened with whispers of vanilla and a hint of warm spice. The texture is silky, coating the mouth, leaving a sweet‑nutty finish that invites another sip. 

The craft begins with bitter almonds (or sometimes apricot/peach kernels), which are prepared carefully to remove excess bitterness. The almonds are steeped in neutral alcohol along with sugar and occasionally spices, allowing extraction of the full flavor profile over weeks. The infusion is then filtered, creating a clear, polished liqueur that captures both tradition and refinement.

Mazzetti Amaretto is the ultimate versatile ingredient. It’s delightful served neat at room temperature or slightly chilled as a classic digestif. For warmer months, pour over clear ice; for desserts, drizzle over chocolate or vanilla ice cream for a classic Italian “affogato” twist. Coffee lovers can swirl a shot into espresso or hot chocolate. Mixologists prize this Amaretto in cocktails like the Amaretto Sour or Godfather, or you might invent your own blend with whiskey, fruit juices or mint for a modern twist.

Beyond its sensory appeal, Mazzetti Amaretto brings an authentic Italian heritage into every bottle—perfect for gifting, celebratory toasting or elevating dessert menus. Each bottle offers exquisite taste and cultural depth: a toast to Italian elegance and time-honored tradition. Serve it with pride.
