An original recipe that involves the use of 27 ingredients including spices, herbs and roots of extraordinary quality. Even today the recipe has remained unchanged and kept secret. Fernet Branca is a brand appreciated and renowned all over the world.

The ingredients are carefully selected from among the best, so much so that they come from various parts of the world. For example, chamomile comes from Argentina and Europe, gentian from France, rhubarb from China and galangal from India.

Fernet Branca is a amaro with a unique, very aromatic and enveloping taste, produced with traditional methods that involve the infusion of herbs in alcohol, then left to rest for a year in oak barrels. 

It has a dense dark amber color in the glass. The nose offers an elegant and particularly intense scent given by the numerous herbs used, among which the scents of gentian, rhubarb and noble woods prevail.

On the palate it gives a warm and intense taste, pleasantly herbaceous and spicy that conquers and immediately recalls the second sip. 

An excellent after-meal to drink smooth or with ice.
