About this product
Bold. Bitter. Authentically alpine.
Bordiga Fernet is a potent and complex Italian amaro crafted for true bitter lovers. Inspired by 19th-century pharmacy traditions, this alpine-style fernet is made from a secret blend of over 30 herbs, roots, and spices, including gentian, myrrh, saffron, and mint — all slowly macerated and aged for full flavour extraction.
This is not a fernet for the faint-hearted: intense and bracing, yet balanced with earthy warmth and an elegant lift of menthol freshness. Bordiga’s century-old expertise in botanical liqueurs shines through, offering a premium, small-batch take on one of Italy’s most iconic bitters.
Why we love it:
Bordiga Fernet isn’t just bitter — it’s beautifully structured, complex, and alive with herbal energy. A brilliant choice for seasoned amaro drinkers and cocktail explorers alike.
