What is this liqueur?
Fernet Paesani is a traditional Italian-style amaro produced in Argentina, where Fernet has become deeply embedded in drinking culture (especially in Córdoba). Like other Fernets, it is a bitter, herbal liqueur made from a closely guarded recipe of botanicals, roots, and spices, macerated in alcohol and aged before bottling. Typically enjoyed as a digestif, it has also become famous for its role in Argentina’s national drink: Fernet con Coca (Fernet with cola).
Why get this liqueur?
For amaro fans, Fernet Paesani offers a distinctive South American twist on the classic Italian category. It’s bolder and more rustic than some international Fernets, making it both an authentic cultural experience and a versatile addition to the amaro shelf. Whether for sipping neat after a meal, mixing in cocktails, or recreating the Argentine classic with cola, it’s a bottle with personality and story.
What does this liqueur taste like?
Intensely herbal and bitter, with notes of mint, eucalyptus, gentian root, clove, and spices. Robust and dry, with a long, cooling finish.
When should you drink this liqueur?
Best served neat or over ice as a digestif, mixed with cola in the classic Argentine style, or used sparingly in cocktails for depth and bitterness.
