The main ingredient is white wine from selected Italian grape varieties from the Romagna, Puglia and Sicily regions, processed within 24 hours of receipt to prevent oxidation. These wines have a medium alcohol content which, combined with special production techniques, brings out the flavours of the spices, herbs and roots that make up the secret recipe.
Many of the aromatic botanicals that are part of the Antica Formula recipe are obtained by hot infusion or cold extraction methods that have been passed down for centuries, depending on the raw material. These methods, together with the recipe itself, form the secret of this product. The process is extremely precise and lengthy (some herbal ingredients require months of processing).
Once the different plants and herbs have been combined, they undergo a refinement phase lasting several months. This is so that they can combine properly and release all their fragrance and intensity of aroma.
The bottles are filled with 16,5 % alcohol at a volume of 1 l.
