No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, not a sugar bomb – an amaro with low sugar content for Spritz, Tonic, and Negroni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmaro Bavarese Rosso by Mondino\u003c\/strong\u003e – currently marketed by the producer as Mondino Aperitivo – is an amaro inspired by the Italian tradition. An amaro is a bitter: herbs, roots, blossoms, and citrus peels are macerated in alcohol, the extract is balanced with water and a bit of sugar, and the bitter components set the tone. In Italy, a glass like this is a staple for the hour before dinner, served with ice and a splash of soda. Mondino brings this concept to the Chiemgau: the recipe originates from Italy, the gentian from the Alps, the bitter oranges from the Mediterranean, and the water from Bavaria. Picture the first warm Friday evening, a wine glass filled with ice, three centiliters of Rosso, Prosecco, a splash of tonic, and a lemon twist. \"A little 'dolce vita' is always a good idea,\" says the producer, and that hits the nail on the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBitter-fruity, herbal, fresh – and significantly less sweet than usual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rosso tastes first of bitter orange, then of tangy rhubarb and spicy-tart gentian, while remaining light. The producer summarizes the profile in four words: fresh, bitter-fruity, herbal, natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bitter oranges come from the Amalfi Coast and Spain and, according to Mondino, are always macerated fresh when they have reached their ideal level of ripeness. They contribute the citrus fruit and the initial bitterness to the glass. Fresh rhubarb provides a tangy counterpoint, and yellow gentian from the Alps adds the spicy tartness known from alpine herbal bitters. Added to this are aromatic alpine herbs and Bavarian spring water, which the producer describes as a soft base. The vibrant red hue comes from hibiscus blossoms, meaning the color is derived entirely from the blossoms themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes the Rosso from a classic Italian bitter aperitif is the sugar: Mondino states that they use a low sugar content, keeping the amaro more tart than sticky in the glass. At 18% ABV, it carries well in a Spritz without dominating the drink. The Rosso contains quinine – as stated on the label, it is an essential part of the profile. Those who prefer something softer and rounder will find the barrel-aged \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/amaro-bavarese-stagionato\"\u003eAmaro Bavarese Stagionato\u003c\/a\u003e, a version with vanilla notes from the oak barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMondino Spritz, Mondino Tonic, German Negroni – three recipes from the producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rosso is made for a Spritz, works as a long drink with tonic, and replaces red bitter in a Negroni. It can also be enjoyed neat over ice, where you can taste the orange, rhubarb, and gentian undiluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Mondino Spritz, fill a wine glass with ice, add 3 to 4 cl of Rosso, top up with 10 cl of Prosecco, and round it off with 3 to 4 cl of tonic water. Garnish with a lemon twist or a slice of lemon. A Mondino Tonic requires even less: 5 cl of Rosso over ice, topped up with tonic water, and a grapefruit or lemon twist in the glass. For a German Negroni, stir 2 cl each of Rosso, red vermouth, and gin in a tumbler over ice and add an orange twist. On their recipe page, the producer features many other drinks using the aperitivo, from a Sbagliato to a Hot Toddy for the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a spirit with 18% ABV; it may only be sold to persons aged 18 and over.

Decades later, his grandson Max revived the old family recipe together with his friends Ferdinand, Florian, and Benedikt. The four gave it a modern interpretation: strictly organic, refined with regional ingredients, and with a low sugar content. This is why the producer calls the Rosso \"the Bavarian with Italian roots.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe amaro is produced by hand in the Chiemgau foothills. The bitter oranges are macerated fresh, herbs and fruits combine in Bavarian spring water, and then the blend is left to mature. The herbs and fruits used are certified organic and sourced from the region whenever possible; the organic inspection body is DE-ÖKO-007. According to the producer, color and taste are purely a matter of the ingredients: hibiscus for the red, and fruits and herbs for the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the aperitivo hour, the home bar, and as a gift from Bavaria\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmaro Bavarese Rosso is the bottle for anyone who likes to mix their own Spritz at home and is looking for a bitter with character and little sugar.

Compared to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/amaro-bavarese-rosso\"\u003eAmaro Bavarese Rosso\u003c\/a\u003e, the bitter aperitivo with 18% vol from the same distillery, Senza seems fruitier and somewhat softer because the alcohol—a carrier of bitter substances—is missing. It remains tart nonetheless, even with tonic in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is sweetened with organic beet sugar, which is stated on the label and is part of its composition. Diluted in a long drink with tonic or non-alcoholic prosecco, the drink remains tart rather than sweet. For beverages like this, alcohol-free means under 0.5% vol, as stipulated by labeling regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSenza Spritz, Senza Tonic, or neat on ice – all Mondino recipes also work alcohol-free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSenza is intended as a base for Spritz and tonic long drinks, and according to the manufacturer, every Mondino recipe can be mixed with it alcohol-free. It also works neat on ice, where you can taste the herbs and berries undiluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Senza Spritz, fill a wine glass with ice, add 3 to 4 cl of Senza, top with 10 cl of non-alcoholic prosecco, and finish with 3 to 4 cl of tonic water, plus a lemon zest. The Senza Tonic is even quicker to make: 5 cl of Senza on ice, top with tonic water, add a grapefruit or lemon zest to the glass. Anyone wanting to make the German Negroni from the Mondino recipe collection alcohol-free simply replaces the aperitivo with Senza. With 5 cl per glass, the bottle is enough for a good dozen tonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOlives, salted almonds, and a board of hard cheese go well with it, just like for an aperitivo in Italy. Before a meal, Senza takes on the role usually filled by a bitter with alcohol, just lighter. Once opened, the bottle belongs in the refrigerator and, according to the manufacturer, should be consumed within 14 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e For a pitcher of Senza Spritz for four guests, add ice, 15 cl of Senza, 40 cl of non-alcoholic prosecco, and 15 cl of tonic to a carafe, serve with lemon slices and a sprig of rosemary – then you can join the party instead of mixing at the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Schnitzer distillery in the Chiemgau – the Amaro concept, reimagined alcohol-free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMondino comes from the Schnitzer distillery in Kaltenbach near Traunstein, a family distillery in the Chiemgau that has been in existence for over 100 years according to the manufacturer. The fact that a distillery produces an alcohol-free aperitivo has to do with its history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaster distiller Hans learned his craft in Italy in the 1960s and brought the recipe for an Amaro back to the Chiemgau. His grandson Max revived it with his friends Ferdinand, Florian, and Benedikt: consistently organic, with regional ingredients and little sugar. This became the Mondino Aperitivo, and with Senza, the distillery transferred the same idea to a bottle that can be opened before driving home or on a weekday. According to the manufacturer, the recipe is based on the Italian Amaro tradition, just alcohol-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSenza is produced by hand in Bavaria. The herbs and fruits are certified organic and, if possible, come from the region; the organic inspection body is DE-ÖKO-007. According to the manufacturer, no artificial flavors or additives are used in any Mondino bottles. At 675 ml, the bottle is slightly smaller than those of its alcoholic siblings, and the label reflects the contents accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor guests who are driving, for weekday evenings, and for anyone who likes an aperitivo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSenza is the bottle for anyone who loves the aperitivo ritual and wants to leave out the alcohol. Finishing work on a Tuesday, friends who have to drive, a colleague currently abstaining from alcohol, brunch with children at the table – everywhere there sits a red glass that tastes of herbs and berries instead of soda. As a gift, it is a perfect contribution for people who live alcohol-free but still enjoy toasting, and for hosts who think of everyone when serving a Spritz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who want to have both versions on the table should place the Amaro Bavarese Rosso next to it and mix two pitchers using the same recipe. You can find all Mondino bottles on our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/hersteller-mondino\"\u003eMondino page\u003c\/a\u003e, and other alcohol-free aperitifs in the category \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kategorie-alkoholfreie-spirituosen\"\u003ealcohol-free spirits\u003c\/a\u003e. Senza is not suitable for those expecting a sweet fruit soda – it remains tart, even with tonic and lemon. And it is not suitable as a stock bottle for an occasional glass: once opened, it belongs in the refrigerator and should be consumed within two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlpine herbs, citrus, and dark berries – the alcohol-free organic aperitivo from the Chiemgau for a weekday Spritz and a tonic for guests who are still driving.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mondino","offers":[{"title":"675 ml","offer_id":59018450796876,"sku":"024MON0003","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3903\/4700\/files\/bio-aperitivo-senza-alkoholfrei-freisteller.png?v=1790867782"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3903\/4700\/collections\/collection-hersteller-mondino.jpg?v=1790861414","url":"https:\/\/leniundhans.de\/en\/collections\/mondino.oembed","provider":"Leni \u0026 Hans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
