The Story

Based on recipes dating back to 1933, Contratto Bitter is all natural - no artificial colors or flavors - a top quality, artisanal alternative to the industry standard products of today. Contratto Bitter is a heady mix of 24 herbs, spices, roots and seeds include aloe, wormwood, bitter orange peel, cloves, cardamom, nettle, ginger and many more. These are combined with Italian Brandy to create a beautiful bitter reminiscent of Campari, but dare we say, a whole lot better. Its color comes from vegetable extracts - carrots and beetroot.
