The Story

The recipe for this herbal bitter, which dates from 1850, was discovered by chance in a dusty drawer while shifting furniture in the family's Pharmaceutical Museum. Alberto Foletto, a member of the family's fourth generation of pharmacists, tweaked the 170-year-old formula, rebalancing the botanicals and significantly increasing the infusion time to allow its flavor to truly shine through. This bitter, produced using an artisanal method in a "small batch" of 450 liters, contains 26 botanicals including the bark of the Trentino larch tree.

About FOLETTO

Producer Story

Foletto’s story began in 1850, when its founder Giovanni began production in Ledro, a small valley in the heart of the Alps. Now in its fifth generation of apothecary pharmacists, the company continues to produce syrups and spirits with botanical from the Alps and Lake Garda. Original pharmacy rooms and furnishings dating back over 130 years sit in the rooms above the spirit production laboratories, including: original stills, pestles, recipe books, and a herbarium created by Dr. Angelo Foletto in the 19th century containing over 2,700 botanical spices.
