Foletto 1850 Bitter Liqueur

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.  We love this as a Campari substitute in a Negroni or Boulivardier.
