Bitters: the authentic taste of Italian tradition
Bitter is a word that immediately evokes tradition, conviviality, and a unique flavor that balances the intensity of herbs with the harmony of alcohol. In Italy, every region preserves its own recipe, often born from ancient herbal knowledge and passed down as a true family secret. Bitters originate this way: from roots, peels, spices, and infusions once used as digestive remedies and today representing a genuine symbol of our way of living at the table. Drinking a bitter means allowing yourself a pause, a ritual that completes the meal and restores balance to body and spirit.
The world of bitters is wide and diverse. Some feature fresh, citrusy notes, ideal for those who prefer a softer, rounder sweetness. Others, instead, highlight bold and persistent flavors, with gentian, cinchona, or rhubarb as the main players. Modern interpretations also exist—lighter and designed for mixology—where bitter becomes a key ingredient in innovative cocktails or creative twists on timeless classics.
What keeps bitter always relevant is its versatility: enjoyed neat, over ice, paired with desserts, or even alongside dark chocolate for a refined contrast. It is a drink for quiet reflection or lively conversation, equally suited to intimate settings and festive occasions.
