Tasting Notes:
Gran Classico is a full-bodied, complex bitter aperitivo with a rich and earthy backbone. It opens with aromas of citrus peel, baking spice, and gentian root. The palate is bold and bittersweet, showing notes of orange marmalade, herbs, rhubarb, and dried flowers with a long, spicy finish. More nuanced and rounded than Campari, with old-world charm.

About the Producer:
Tempus Fugit Spirits specializes in reviving historic European liqueurs and aperitifs using original recipes and traditional techniques. Gran Classico is based on a 19th-century Turin recipe that predates Campari and showcases the complexity and balance of pre-industrial bitter traditions.
