mountains to collect these

Very rich in our region, yellow gentian root

was used for a very long time on the mountain to make a quenching drink consumed during

the summer hard work.

the drink based on gentian is obtained by extended maceration (9 months)

of fresh roots crushed

tradition dictates.

Today, there are always appetizing liquors based on gentian,

whose beautiful golden colour and bitter taste have become very popular in recent years
