A legendary Italian herbal liqueur created in 1845 by Bernardino Branca, Fernet-Branca is an enduring symbol of Milanese craftsmanship. Crafted from a secret blend of over 27 herbs, roots, and spices, including myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, gentian, and saffron, this iconic digestif delivers a profoundly complex, bittersweet experience. Aged in Slovenian oak barrels for at least one year, it achieves a robust, velvety texture with remarkable aromatic intensity.
