Profile & Story
Fernet-Branca is an Italian amaro crafted exclusively in Milan from a closely guarded recipe of 27 herbs, roots, and spices, known to only one living person and kept in a safe in the city. Often called "the bartender's handshake," it is positioned as the original Italian amaro and a longstanding favorite among bar professionals.
Tasting Notes
Fernet-Branca is bold and intensely bitter, balanced by minty freshness and herbal intensity, with specific notes of saffron, rhubarb, gentian, galingale, and chamomile emerging from its blend of botanicals.
Pairing Recommendation
Traditionally taken as a shot alongside beer, sipped neat, or mixed with cola in the classic preparation known as a Fernandito.
