Type: Cherry liqueur

A traditional Aosta Valley liqueur produced according to ancient family recipes rooted in Alpine rural tradition, Ratafià is made by infusing local wild cherries in a base of Aosta Valley grappa, with the addition of fresh cherry juice and a small amount of sugar. This liqueur's distinctive feature lies in the hand-picked cherries, which take place exclusively in the region's mountain forests and orchards, at altitudes ranging between 900 and 1,500 meters.

The La Valdôtaine Distillery, located in Saint-Marcel in the heart of the Aosta Valley, is a family-run artisanal business that has been producing spirits and liqueurs since 1947 using local ingredients and traditional methods, with a strong connection to the Alpine region: tradition dictates that verbal agreements are sealed with a handshake and a sip of this delicious elixir.
