Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro is a distinctive type of Italian amaro that is part of the broader family of rabarbaro (rhubarb) amari. The name "Sfumato" derives from the Italian term for "smoky" or "blurred," which hints at the liqueur's complex, layered flavor profile, characterized by a smoky, bittersweet taste. This amaro is produced by the Cappelletti family, a historic producer of wine-based aperitifs and amari in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy.

The primary ingredient in Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro is Chinese rhubarb, known for its bitter and slightly sweet flavor. This rhubarb is cultivated in the mountainous regions of Trentino, where the soil and climate conditions are ideal for its growth. The rhubarb is then macerated with a variety of herbs, spices, and mountain plants to create a rich and complex herbal concoction. The exact blend of botanicals is a closely guarded secret, preserving the unique identity of this amaro.
