Description
Bitter Forbidden Year 1943. A very dark period both for emotions and sense of freedom. Botanical pharmacist Achille Foletto, a lieutenant at the military hospital in Riva sul Garda, used the language of botany to distill feelings of hope and revenge for his patients. The aromatic freshness of the Garda lemons, the floral elegance of the Trentino mountains and the herbaceous character of the Dolomite roots gave life to this refined bitter elixir. Transported by bicycle, it was secretly drunk by guests and soldiers in the basement of the hospital.

The distillery has an ancient tradition combined with a passion for liqueurs, herbs and innovation. The Foletto family has passed on this passion and care over time, ensuring that syrups and liqueurs are produced with the same care and professionalism as centuries ago.
The history of the Foletto family is certainly a captivating one: starting out as a pharmacy and pharmaceutical laboratory, the Foletto family began to expand their business into the production of liqueurs and syrups in the late 1800s.
The Foletto pharmacists have handed down from father to son this passion for truly artisanal things, continuing to produce syrups and liqueurs today with the same care and professionalism that they have done for centuries.
A small exhibition of the equipment used in the early 1900s has been open to the public since 2000 (renovated in August 2011 to include the old premises and furniture of the pharmacy, the original furnishings of which date back about 125 years). Read more
