RATAFIA ROSSI

Ratafia Rossi’s produced in the heart of Italy’s historic aperitivo region, Piedmont, revives the old tradition of making Italian Ratafia whilst striving to innovate and elevate this old classic. The result is an outstanding aperitif cherry wine that combines Fortified Barbera d’Asti DOCG with fruit infused Italian brandy of 3 & 10 years old. The term ratafia, locally also called ratafià or rataffia, indicates any type of liqueur made up of an infusion based on fruit or fruit juices and alcohol. Usually, the best known ratafia is based on sour cherries or cherries. The origin goes back to the Piedmont region dated back around 1600, spread enormously for use in propitiatory or sealing rites for the successful outcome of commercial transactions or signing of agreements. Known as the liqueur of the notaries who concluded the stipulations with the phrase "ut rata fiat," which means the deed be ratified. When the word given was worth more than a thousand contracts, the intense red colour of the Ratafià symbolized the blood pact between two people: a handshake and a toast with a glass of "Morlacco blood" special name given to it by the great poet and writer Gabriele D'Annunzio.
