Bèrto Aperitivo is an Italian liqueur from Antica Distilleria Quaglia, a family-owned producer based in Castelnuovo Don Bosco in Piedmont’s Monferrato region. Presented here in a generous one-liter bottle, it is made with all-natural ingredients through long infusions of selected aromatic herbs. The result is an orange-forward aperitivo shaped around the classic interplay of sweetness, bitterness, citrus, and herbal character.

The bottling sits within Quaglia’s trio of traditional Italian liqueur styles alongside Bitter and Fernet. Its approachable aperitivo profile makes it a natural starting point for exploring the range, whether served simply or used as the bright, bittersweet element in mixed drinks. It also has a place in the Bèrto Negroni, a cocktail highlighted as part of the producer’s own range.

Antica Distilleria Quaglia traces its story to 1890, when Cavalier Giuseppe Quaglia acquired the distillery. Four generations later, the Quaglia family continues to produce liqueurs, spirits, grappa, and vermouth in Piedmont. Long infusions and alcohol macerations remain central to its broader approach to liqueur making, connecting Bèrto Aperitivo to a well-established regional tradition while giving it a distinctly contemporary role behind the bar.

For anyone drawn to Italian aperitivo culture, Bèrto offers a versatile expression from a historic Piedmontese house. Its herb-infused construction and pronounced orange character make it well suited to leisurely pre-dinner drinks, refreshing serves, and cocktails calling for a measured balance of sweet and bitter flavors.
