Amante 1530, the Italian amaro born from a simple conviction that the spritz deserves better, launches in the UK this month following a distribution agreement with Maverick Drinks. “I have huge admiration for the brands that built this category,” said Ana Rosenstein, founder and CEO of Amante 1530. Hugo, limoncello, vermouth spritzes, they’ve all found an audience,” said Hannah Burden-Teh, brand manager at Maverick Drinks. Amante 1530 is the first brand we’ve seen with the credentials to change that. Amante 1530 (RRP £20.95, 15% ABV, 70cl) is available now through Maverick Drinks for the on- and off-trade, and at retail via Master of Malt.
