Bitter Liqueur

Bottega Bitter is produced by adding an infusion of bitter herbs, spices, aromatic plants, fruits and alcohol. The careful combination and dosage of quality ingredients give life to a product with an intense character, which stands out for its freshness, thanks to the infusions of chinotto, grapefruit, cedar and pomegranate extract, a perfect and unique ingredient, and for its aromatic intensity due to the large number of herbs used. “Bitter”, the traditional Italian alcoholic aperitif, was invented in the early 1800s by pharmacists, doctors and spice manufacturers. It represented a ‘revolution’ in that it was the first bitter drink to be offered before meals, as an aperitif, rather than as a digestive at the end.
