This Amaro follows a historic recipe from the Dolzan family, handed down through the generations like a precious treasure, especially during the First World War, when the tradition risked being lost. The unique properties of each herb used were studied by Pietro Andrea Mattioli, a renowned botanist and doctor in the service of the prince bishop during the Council of Trent (1545-1563).


The original herbal blend has been carefully passed down over the centuries and is today preserved in the Villa de Varda museum. Given the historical importance of this bitter-elixir, the Dean of the Cathedral of Trento entrusted the mission of reproducing this precious herbal and root liqueur, baptizing it with the name of Elixir Sancti Vigilii , in honor of the most famous and illustrious prince-bishop of Trento and patron saint of Trentino .

Note di degustazione

Bitter with a brown colour. On the nose it has an intense aroma of juniper, herbs and roots. The taste is soft and persistent, with a rich aromatic bouquet that confirms the perceptions of the perfume.

  • Abbinamenti: lasciati ispirare

    It can be consumed neat, with ice, or as a base for cocktails. But it is also an excellent digestive, to end a dinner with friends with pleasure.
