Bordiga

Italy · Piedmont

The Bordiga distillery was founded in 1888 by Pietro Bordiga, a passionate bartender and herbalist. Bordiga has continually produced their collection of vermouths, including the classic Vermouth di Torino; gin; and a number of herbal liqueurs and amari since 1888 using the original recipes (and the original recipe books!) developed by Pietro Bordiga. Unlike most of their commercial counterparts, they continue to make all their own infusions, and most of the wild plants they use, such as gentian, juniper, and chamomile, are still gathered in the Alps nearby. Bordiga does all their own botanical infusions and each botanical is infused separately. This is an important marker of quality - each botanical benefits from being macerated in alcohol at different degrees and for different lengths of time - and changes depending on the characteristics of each year’s crop
