About this product
Herbal. Vibrant. The bold green side of aperitivo.
Bordiga Bitter Verde is a captivating expression of the Italian aperitivo, infused with the fresh vitality of Piedmont’s alpine herbs. Crafted by the renowned Bordiga Distillery, founded in 1888, this emerald-hued bitter captures the untamed beauty of the Italian Alps in every drop. It’s a bold yet elegant alternative to the classic red bitters — a spirit that speaks of nature, purity, and old-world craftsmanship.
The unique green colour comes from natural infusions of wild herbs and botanicals, hand-foraged from the alpine slopes surrounding the distillery. Each batch is meticulously prepared using time-honoured maceration methods, yielding a profile that is herbaceous, slightly spicy, and refreshingly bitter — a truly distinctive take on the Italian tradition.
In Ireland, Bordiga Bitter Verde has found a devoted following among bartenders and enthusiasts seeking a more complex, earthy bitterness for their cocktails. It’s a secret weapon for reimagining classics — a Negroni with a twist, or a vibrant, green-hued Spritz that brings a touch of Italian mountain magic to any bar or gathering.
Why we love it:
We love Bordiga Bitter Verde because it’s the wild heart of the aperitivo world — fresh, herbal, and beautifully balanced. Its alpine roots give it a personality all its own, standing apart from the typical bitters. Every sip is a nod to the pure air, rugged mountains, and artisanal mastery of Italy’s Piedmont region — now cherished by cocktail lovers across Ireland.
