FERNRET BRANCA Menta Italian Aperitif 50 cl
Branca Menta: Italian Bitter with Piedmont Peppermint
Branca Menta is an Italian bitter produced by Fratelli Branca Distillerie in Milan. It builds on the herbal character associated with Fernet-Branca and adds the cooling freshness of Piedmont peppermint. The result combines the complexity of herbs and spices with a pronounced mint profile, offering a fresher and somewhat sweeter interpretation of the traditional bitter.
On the nose, mint takes centre stage, accompanied by herbal and balsamic notes. The palate balances cooling menthol sensations with a persistent botanical bitterness and hints of spice. Rather than tasting like a straightforward mint liqueur, Branca Menta retains the deeper, more complex character associated with the Fernet style.
The producer recommends serving it very cold, straight from the freezer. It can be enjoyed on its own in a small measure or poured over ice. It also works as a cocktail ingredient when a recipe benefits from a distinctive mint note combined with herbal bitterness.
Bottled at 28% ABV in a 50 cl format, Branca Menta is suited to drinkers who appreciate Italian bitters, aromatic digestifs and bold mint flavours. Its balance of herbal depth and cooling freshness makes it a distinctive alternative to standard mint liqueurs.

Description
Branca Menta: the herbal depth of Fernet with a refreshing mint finish
Branca Menta is an Italian bitter made by Fratelli Branca Distillerie in Milan. The company is best known for Fernet-Branca, a bitter spirit created in 1845 and made from a closely guarded blend of 27 herbs, roots and spices. Branca Menta develops this herbal tradition by adding peppermint from Piedmont, giving the drink a distinctive cooling and balsamic character.
The story behind the mint version is linked to opera singer Maria Callas. According to the account shared by the brand, she enjoyed Fernet-Branca with fresh mint leaves before performances. This habit inspired the development of Branca Menta in the 1960s. The resulting spirit combines the complex bitterness of an herbal bitter with a more prominent mint freshness.
The aroma is led by peppermint, supported by herbal and balsamic notes. On the palate, cooling menthol sensations contrast with botanical bitterness and subtle spice. The finish remains fresh and persistent. This layered character sets Branca Menta apart from simpler mint liqueurs, which tend to focus more heavily on sweetness and mint flavour.
Branca Menta is best served very cold, and the producer recommends keeping the bottle in the freezer before serving. It can be enjoyed neat in a small measure or over ice. Its combination of mint, herbs and bitterness also makes it useful in cocktails that need a distinctive aromatic lift.
Bottled at 28% ABV in a 50 cl format, Branca Menta is a distinctive option for fans of Italian bitters and herbal digestifs. It offers a mint-forward interpretation of the Fernet style while retaining the botanical depth that defines the category.
