Did you ever imagine a distillery fueled by passion and tradition? Here at Cascina Bordiga, the echoes of 135 years of history whisper through the air. Cascina Bordiga isn’t just a building. It is a legacy. It’s a testament to Cavalier Pietro Bordiga, a passionate herbalist with a deep understanding of alpine botanicals and oriental spices. In 1888, his original Vermouth di Torino recipe sparked a revolution. This success led him to establish his own distillery, choosing Cuneo as its home. This location nestled at the foot of the Alps, near the Langhe region. It provided him with the perfect access to hand-picked herbs and the fine wines of Piedmont. Cascina Bordiga’s story continued to unfold. It quickly became renowned for its liqueurs and distillates, especially those infused with the spirit of the Alps. In the early 1900s, their stills even began producing a juniper distillate that rivals the world’s finest gins. The heart of Cascina Bordiga beats with artisanal craftsmanship. Traditional processes are followed. Recipes are passed down through generations. Botanicals are treated individually, macerated and distilled. No centrifuges, ultrasounds, or solvents touch the ingredients. A wood-fired copper alembic, a relic of the past, still plays a crucial role in their production. Each product carries the essence of the Cavalier’s original vision. Cascina Bordiga represents a commitment to quality, tradition, and a deep respect for nature.
