Rapa Giovanni Ratafia di Andorno Liquore di Ginepro is a piece of Italian spirits history that almost nobody outside of Piedmont knows exists — and one of the most distinctive and aromatic juniper liqueurs available anywhere in the world. Founded in 1880 by Giovanni Rapa in the small mountain town of Andorno Micca in Piedmont's Biella region — where the family still produces their liqueurs today using the same herb and fruit maceration methods passed down for over 140 years — Rapa Giovanni has been collecting and perfecting the alpine botanical traditions of the Piedmontese mountains for generations. The Ratafià di Andorno series takes its name from the ancient tradition of macerating local fruits, berries, and botanicals in pure alcohol — a practice documented in the region dating back centuries, with legends tracing one origin story to a hermit who took refuge in a nearby forest and received precious liqueur from wild fruits and blackberries. The Ginepro — juniper — expression is made from carefully selected juniper berries infused in pure alcohol with rare spices, producing a liqueur with a characteristic, decisive, and deeply aromatic flavor. Bold and resinous on the nose with wild juniper, pine, and earthy alpine spice, the palate is dry and invigorating with distinct bitter juniper notes, resin, and herbal complexity — finishing clean and bracingly alpine. A true mountain spirit, bottled at 45% ABV. Drink it neat, over ice, or use it as a genuinely distinctive substitute for gin in cocktails.
