Cynar Aperitivo 750ml

Description

Cynar 750ml is a uniquely bitter Italian amaro made from a secret blend of 13 herbs and plants, with artichoke (Cynara scolymus) as its signature ingredient. With its unmistakable herbal complexity, deep amber color, and balanced bittersweet profile, Cynar is an iconic aperitif that’s equally enjoyable on its own or in cocktails like the Cynar Spritz or Cynar Negroni.

While Cynar was born in Italy in the 1950s, it has since become deeply rooted in Argentine drinking culture. Cynar is also produced in Argentina under license by Grupo Cepas, making it widely available and extremely popular across the country.

"Intense and herbaceous on the nose, with notes of dried herbs, caramelized citrus peel, and subtle spice. On the palate, it’s smooth yet bitter, with earthy undertones and a refreshingly dry finish."

Are there differences between Argentine and Italian Cynar?

Yes — though the recipe remains closely guarded and consistent in its core herbal identity, there are some key differences. The Argentine version of Cynar is bottled at 16.5% ABV, compared to 16.5% or 17% in the Italian version, depending on the market. This minor variation is due to local production standards and consumer preferences.

Flavor-wise, many enthusiasts note that the Argentine Cynar tends to be slightly sweeter and more rounded, while the Italian version leans a touch more bitter and herbal.

Regardless of the origin, Cynar remains a cult favorite for those who appreciate bold, herbal liqueurs with a complex personality.
