Fratelli Branca

The company was founded in Milan in 1845 when herbalist Bernardino Branca developed the amaro that became Fernet‑Branca. Over the decades Fratelli Branca grew from an artisanal laboratory into an industrial reality with production plants (currently active on Via Resegone in Milan) and a strong international expansion. Over the years the group acquired historic Italian brands (including Distilleria Candolini in the 1980s and Carpano in the early 2000s) and established the holding Branca International to manage business diversification.

The company's philosophy is summed up by the motto "Novare Serbando" (innovate while preserving tradition): maintaining historic formulas and consolidated know‑how while combining them with product innovation, attention to quality and initiatives in sustainability and corporate culture.

Milan (historic headquarters and main production facility). Commercial and production presence in international markets, with distribution activities in many countries.

Some group products have received international recognition (e.g. awards for Grappa Candolini and acknowledgements for Carpano products and Carpano Botanic Bitter).
