Spaghetti kissed by gentian-infused butter, bergamot, and caprine caciotta

INSPIRATION

The point of departure is the Amaro Tonico, which becomes the impulse to transfigure the traditional end-of-meal digestif into a culinary masterpiece. The vision lies in capturing that very essence, lending it form and structure, utilizing pasta as the medium through which to build and convey taste. The spaghetto is creamed with a butter infused with gentian root, which imparts a profound, vegetal, and earthy bitterness to the dish. Grated goat's caciotta accompanies the gentian, sustaining its intensity. To complete the bite, candied bergamot arrives with its aromatic citrus freshness, creating a poetic contrast and adding a more vibrant note. The result is a culinary reinterpretation of the Amaro Tonico, which becomes the heart of the dish—an exquisite bite composed of depth, sapidity, and brightness.
