Faccia Brutto Fernet Pianta (375ml)

Fernet Pianta is a homage to both Patrick's grandfather, Peter Pianta, and the many line cooks Patrick has worked with throughout his chef career. 21 ingredients including saffron, myrrh, aloe ferox, peppermint, and gentian root in non-GMO neutral grain spirit for two weeks. The mixture is proofed and filtered, then sugar and organic peppermint oil are added as finishing touches prior to bottling. This fernet has far less sugar than the bigger brands and is naturally colored with roasted chicory root.

The liquors are crafted by Patrick Miller, formerly of Rucola Restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. Prior to opening Rucola, he worked for 14 years at restaurants around the world. He grew up in an Italian family in Los Angeles and was strongly influenced as a child by his Italian mother and grandparents for whom the Fernet (Pianta) and Amaro (Gorini) are named.
