Pietro Bordiga was a passionate herbalist, a profound connoisseur above all of Alpine botanicals and oriental spices that were much sought after at the time. In the context of the Risorgimento, thanks above all to his botanical knowledge, Pietro Bordiga invented a recipe for Vermouth di Torino (created in its modern version in Turin a few decades earlier), which was immediately greatly appreciated in the city.
He then decided to start his own business as a Vermouth producer and opened his distillery in Cuneo. Over the years, the company developed thanks to the genuineness and quality of its products and became a reference point not only for Vermouths, but also for liqueurs and spirits, especially Alpine ones, but not only: at the beginning of the 20th century, the Bordiga stills produced a juniper distillate that is still the envy of the world's best-known gins. Characteristics that remain to this day: good Piedmontese wine, alpine herbs still hand-picked by the mountain folk, the finest spices, the purest grain alcohol, the finest sugar and the water of our Alps form the basis with which our master distillers, with their ancestral and jealously guarded wisdom, produce the renowned Bordiga products that are today appreciated all over the world.
