Cynar

Cynar is the famous Italian amaro liqueur made from artichoke, created in Padua in 1952. That year Angelo, Amedeo and Mario Dalle Molle carried out their flavor experiments on artichoke leaves, giving rise to an original recipe destined to stand the test of time.

The secret of Cynar is an infusion of 13 herbs and botanicals, including artichoke, according to a closely guarded recipe. The result is a bittersweet profile, balancing sweetness and bitterness, that surprises because it doesn’t directly recall the taste of artichoke.

A bold, distinctive taste that bartenders love to call punchy, and that makes Cynar an amaro with a unique identity, recognizable from the first sip.

Today Cynar is part of the Gruppo Campari portfolio and continues to proudly represent the Italian amaro tradition: an icon born in Padua which, more than seventy years after its creation, still retains its unmistakable style.
