The Inga family owns an ancient recipe book written by hand by Lorenzo's great-grandfather, Gaetano Inga, who moved from distant Noto, in Sicily, where the family owned properties and distilleries specialized in the production of wines, Marsala and liqueurs since the early 1900s, to Serravalle Scrivia, in Piedmont, where he purchased and renovated a small distillery called Gambarotta which then became a renowned distillery in the years to come, producing the well-known Libarna grappa and the Gambarotta bitter.

Among the old formulas that appear in the recipe book, there is that of a medicinal herbal elixir that is said to have been developed by an old Capuchin friar to cure cholera epidemics in India in the 1700s.
It is a handcrafted product composed of more than 22 herbs, roots and barks mixed together in the right proportions and infused in alcohol and water for at least two months.

It is a very soft digestive liqueur, where no ingredient prevails over the other and where you can recognize scents of orange, mint, rhubarb and many others.
It is drunk neat or on the rocks as an aperitif, but it is also recommended mixed on ice cream or added to coffee.
