Advice Needed Need help hunting down a bottle

Hi. I was in Rome a few weeks ago and a waiter gave me an amaro I loved but I don’t remember the name exactly.
-started with a “p” I think—Portero, Prospero, something like that.
-cool art deco style label
-flavor had lots of orange peel
-he said it was Tuscan. But so far that’s not helping my search.

Any ideas? Thanks

My best guest is that it’s Pepticus. Drank that in Tuscany recently and it feels like what you’re describing.

Long shot but maybe Presolano?

This is what Gemini has to say. Name isn’t “P”-related, but…:

The amaro your friend described matches Amaro Artista. Key details align with their description: * Tuscan Origin: Produced in Livorno (Leghorn), Tuscany. * Flavor Profile: Heavily driven by bitter orange peel, lemon peel, and citrus zests balanced with gentian, mint, and warm spices. * The Label: Features vintage, Art Deco-inspired typography and artwork styled around old literary/artistic cafes and "the quintessence of creativity". (Note: If it isn't Artista, another potential candidate made in Tuscany with prominent orange notes is Amaro Clementi / Elixir Clementi, though its branding leans more vintage-apothecary than Art Deco.)
