It has been produced since 1845 using the same family recipe. The ingredients are strictly confidential, but this much is clear: over 27 selected herbs, plants and spices from all parts of the earth are artisanally macerated and then distilled into a powerful and naturally spicy bitter. One year of finishing in oak casks further lends Fernet-Branca its inimitable soft yet full-bodied character. Around the globe, this iconic bitter has earned passionate fans who enjoy it classically neat, on ice or as the base for cocktails and long drinks.
