Available sizes

Bonanto Ultimate Aperitivo is the liquid gold standard of modern Mediterranean spirits a cutting-edge fusion that has carried the creative vision of Barcelona’s elite mixologists to the most exclusive residences in Gigiri and Muthaiga. While many retailers in Kenya categorize this as a simple liqueur, Bonanto is a sophisticated wine-based signature aperitif. It is meticulously crafted with a base of premium Macabeo white wine, fortified to 22% ABV for character and aromatic intensity. Unlike mass-market bitters that rely heavily on sugar, Bonanto contains only 105g/l—significantly less than red vermouths—allowing the complex botanicals to shine with a persistent, velvety mouthfeel.

For the discerning hosts of Runda and Whispers Estate, where sophistication is found in unique flavor profiles, this 750ml bottle is a definitive home-bar essential. The recipe is a trade secret involving more than 30 Mediterranean botanicals, including wormwood, bay leaf, basil, and thyme, balanced by a unique cherry distillate and apple tincture. The result is a vibrant, 100% natural ruby color derived from black carrots, offering an elegant alternative to synthetic-colored bitters. Whether you are hosting a diplomatic sundowner near the United Nations or a garden party in Muthaiga, Bonanto offers a versatile, "all-day" profile that transitions perfectly from a midday spritz to a night-time digestif.

The Sensory Experience: Tasting Notes

Aroma: An immediate and seductive burst of Mediterranean forest and fresh herbs—thyme, basil, and bay leaf—followed by a deep, fruity background of ripe cherries and spicy ginger.

Palate: Incredibly well-balanced and full-bodied. The palate experiences a smooth, sweet entry that quickly evolves into an intense citrus acidity, supported by the complex, bitter structure of wormwood and spice.

Finish: Long, elegant, and refreshing. It leaves a persistent "bittersweet" glow on the tongue with a clean, spicy resonance that avoids the sticky aftertaste of standard liqueurs.

The Master Mixologist’s Serve: The "Bonanto" Rituals

The Bonanto On The Rocks (The Gigiri Standard): The purest way to experience its complexity. Serve 60ml over a large ice block with a wide orange twist. The cold temperature highlights the cherry and ginger notes.

The Ultimate Spritz (Muthaiga Elite): A sophisticated upgrade to the classic. Mix 45ml Bonanto with 90ml chilled Prosecco and a splash of soda. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf to amplify the Mediterranean botanicals.

The Bonanto Negroni (Runda Nightcap): For a "Barcelona-style" twist, replace Campari with Bonanto. Mix equal parts Bonanto, London Dry Gin, and Sweet Vermouth. The cherry distillate adds a lush, fruity dimension to the classic bitter profile.
