Amaro Lucano is one of Italy's better-known herbal bitters, produced in a distillery on the outskirts of Pisticci since 1894. The dark, slightly sweet liqueur is made from a blend of herbs and spices — the exact recipe is not public — and has been a fixture on Italian bar menus for over a century.
The distillery does not have a formal visitor centre in the classic sense, but the product is deeply embedded in local identity and is found in every bar and restaurant in Basilicata. Trying it as a digestivo after a meal in Pisticci is an easy and appropriate way to end an evening.
