Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti Trentino-Alto Adige, ITALY

Originally started as a company “to sell wholesale and retail natural herbal remedies”, Giuseppe Cappelletti and his brothers founded Cappelletti in Oss Mazzurana, Trento in 1909. He was an herbalist and apothecary of great creativity and ability. After the First World War he started work on his great idea, to bring the benefits of the curative herbs to those who didn’t want to endure long and difficult therapy treatments. The product range has increased over time and today along with bitters also grappas and sweet liqueurs are produced. The company now has a century of uninterrupted business in the hands of the same family. Currently, the company is run by the fourth generation, custodian of the ancient formulas and immensely proud of their name. Along with things like modern steel tanks, the traditional hand presses are still used in production.
