The Story
Bitterness: Low-Medium
Region: Caltanissetta, Sicily
Est. 1868
Born in the heart of Sicily, Averna is smooth, rich, and seductive with notes of dried fruit, licorice, and chocolate. Originally a gift from a Benedictine monk to Salvatore Averna, it remains one of Italy’s most iconic digestivi. Its velvety sweetness and subtle herbal character make it ideal on its own or over ice with an orange wedge.
