Fernet-Branca Menta takes the bold, bitter complexity of classic Fernet-Branca and wraps it in a cool, minty embrace—making it a smoother, sweeter, and more approachable herbal liqueur that still carries the brand’s signature depth.
Crafted in Milan, Italy, Fernet-Branca Menta is a refreshing twist on the famed Italian amaro, first introduced in the 1960s. It combines the same secret blend of over 27 herbs, roots, and spices used in Fernet-Branca—like saffron, myrrh, chamomile, and gentian—with a generous infusion of natural peppermint oil and a touch of sweetness.
