A recipe carried through generations

Polini dates Fernet Vittone’s original recipe to Domenico Vittone in 1842.

Fernet Vittone’s own brand account, published by Polini, places the formulation of its recipe in 1842 and names Domenico Vittone as its creator. It describes that recipe as having passed through several generations.

The same account links the fernet’s robust, incisive flavor to cold infusions of more than forty aromatic herbs and spices. Its story brings together a named nineteenth-century recipe and the botanical method described by the producer.
