Secrets of an Italian Icon Revealed on Fernet-Branca Book Tour

Edoardo delivered a welcome toast in which he shared secrets of the iconic Italian brand – such as that distillery workers on the first and second floor have differing opinions of which man (Fernet or Branca) began the company. It was both – hence the hyphenated brand name. Following the rich tales of the brand’s history, Edoardo led a vintage tasting where guests sampled Fernet-Branca from the 1970s, 1980s and today and compared tasting notes.

Edoardo’s most important message was driven home through all elements of the event: Fernet-Branca has a rich and storied history which it will continue to honor, but will also continue to evolve with the times and remain relevant in the future. Fernet-Branca innovates while preserving tradition.
