Storage advice
For Amaro storage follow these practical recommendations to preserve its quality and shelf life considering both unopened and opened bottles:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a steady moderate temperature generally between 50°F and 65°F (10°C to 18°C) avoiding temperature fluctuations. Room temperature (around 68°F or 20°C) is also typically safe for unopened amari. After opening it is best to keep the amaro cool ideally refrigerated to slow oxidation and preserve flavor especially if the bottle will be stored for several weeks.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. Light can degrade organic molecules in the drink fading color and impacting taste over time. Use a dark cabinet or wine cellar if possible for unopened bottles.
- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle’s cap or cork is tightly sealed after opening to minimize oxidation. A secure seal reduces the exposure to air which can degrade the herbal flavors and texture over time.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright. Unlike wine amaro contains spirits and sugars that do not require cork moisture so standing bottles vertically avoids unnecessary contact between the liquid and the closure reducing the risk of contamination or subtle flavor changes.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels (around 50-70%) to prevent cork drying if applicable though spirits-based amaro with screw caps are less sensitive. Avoid extremely dry environments that might affect any natural cork closures.
- Special Storage Tips:
- For unopened amaro store in a cool dark place away from heat and light until ready to use. Amari generally have a long shelf life unopened due to sugar and alcohol content keeping them shelf stable.
- For opened bottles refrigeration is recommended to preserve freshness especially for wine-based amari which spoil similarly to wines and last about two weeks refrigerated after opening. Spirit-based amari will last longer but refrigeration still helps maintain flavor quality.
- If refrigeration is not possible keep the opened bottle tightly sealed and stored in a cool dark environment and consume within a few weeks to avoid noticeable quality loss.
These guidelines help maintain optimal flavor aroma and texture integrity for amaro during storage.
