Bordiga
In 1888, the cavalier Pietro Bordiga, an expert connoisseur of alpine herbs and oriental spices, developed the recipe for an exclusive Vermouth di Torino which he tried to propose at Caffè Dilei, a small but renowned bar in Turin run by his daughter-in-law, a place of passage of illustrious people of the time. The success he gained prompted him to open his own distillery, strategically located in Cuneo, in the Occitan valleys, where he could easily find the necessary ingredients for the production of a Superior Quality Vermout.
Since then the Bordiga distillery experienced an important growth in both production capacity and technological equipment, but always keeping intact the historical recipe, the research and selection of herbs, flowers and alpine roots, but also the distillation method to bain-marie, in wood-fired stills, to be sure of obtaining genuine products containing the typical flavors of the Alps and the genuineness of craftsmanship. The Bordiga's motto is to make liqueurs "starting from the grass": this is why the selection of raw materials is entrusted to mountain experts and the master distillers carefully evaluate them before including them in the production process.
