This liqueur stands as a landmark achievement in liqueur craftsmanship, pioneering the integration of iron citrate into a sophisticated aperitif when Felice Bisleri formulated it in 1881. This bitter liqueur combines a proprietary blend of natural botanical extracts with two cornerstone ingredients: cinchona bark—valued in traditional medicine for its antimalarial and fever-reducing properties—and iron citrate for supplemental benefit. The resulting composition delivers both digestive and aperitif qualities, making it versatile for consumption throughout the day. Traditionally enjoyed as a pre-meal tonic, either neat or tempered with still or sparkling water, this historic elixir represents an era when fine spirits served dual purposes as both refined beverages and wellness tonics.
