​The Fugazzi family brings back to life the Amaro Fabbrizii, the liqueur created by grandfather Giovanni, in vogue in the early twentieth century in the elegant liberty place of Sestri Ponente. The Nuovo Liquorificio Fabbrizii thus recovers the traditions and ancient family recipes and takes root in Rezzoaglio , in the heart of the Val d'Aveto, a land of choice for the collection of the best botanical herbs for spirits. The official inauguration is scheduled for the morning of Saturday 24 July , while today, in the premises of the chef Ivano Ricchebono's The Cook restaurant, the Nuovo Liquorificio presented itself to the Genoese public.

www.liquorificiofabbrizii.com/​The Amaro Fabbrizii lives again thanks to the Nuovo Liquorificio in Val d'Aveto

​Fabrizii: from the Val d'Aveto traditional liqueur factory

Once upon a time there was the elegant liberty place of Giovanni Fabbrizii. Formerly a coffee maker and liqueurist in the center of Sestri Ponente, where in the early 1900s the Genoese gathered to taste the famous Amaro Fabbrizii. There is already talk of "digestive tonic liqueur". Behind the once upon a time there is always a beautiful story with a happy ending. Thus, today, the Nuovo Liquorificio in Val d'Aveto exists. Work of his descendants who moved to Val d'Aveto, a land of choice for the collection of the best botanicals for spirits. A beautiful story that was told in the particular setting of The Cook by Ivano Ricchebono.


Grand master of ceremonies the multi-starred Michelin, ambassador of Genoa in the kitchen on the flagship network in the company of Clerici, the national Antonellina. It was pleasant to combine the fingers that the skilful hand of the Doge combined with the aromas of the four products presented: 

Amaro and Aperitivo Ritrovato, Gin Rusagni and Limoncello di Santo Stefano.
​

Giovanni Fabbrizii had invented an amaro and an aperitif that he sent from Genoa all over Italy and, thanks to which, in 1906 he obtained the distinguished cross and the gold medal at the Great International Exhibition and National Wine Show in Genoa. With the Second World War they had gone out of production but the descendants found the notebook with the formulas written in his hand in an old piece of furniture. Thanks to this precious find they have finally been able to taste his creations, much praised in the family and have been able to reproduce them, thus giving life to the Nuovo Liquorificio Fabbrizii, now transferred to Val d'Aveto.

​The new Fabbrizii liqueur factory in Val d'Aveto
Four first products were marketed ​Amaro and Aperitivo Ritrovato, Gin Rusagni and Limoncello di Santo Stefano.

​Genovese basil (in Ligurian language baxaicò or baxeicò) is a cultivar of Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil). It is one of the most popular basils for culinary use, particularly for its use in pesto, the traditional Genoese sauce. The name "Basilico Genovese" is protected by the European Union with the Denominazione di Origine Protetta  certification. Genoese basil is produced in the provinces of Genoa, Savona and Imperia.
​The best genoese basil is said to be grown in Prà, a western delegation of the city of Genoa. The nearby presence of a large steel mill from the 1950s to the 1980s threatened the cultivar, said to be necessary to produce the "real" genoese pesto. Now the threat is mostly gone with the dismissal of the mill and the conversion of the remaining lines to less polluting productions.

Wines from Liguria

​Liguria is a crescent shaped strip of land bounded by France, the Alps, the Appenines and the Mediterranean sea.

​Quick facts about Liguria
 Liguria Region of Italy
  • Capital: Genoa
  • Major Grape varieties: Vermentino, Albarola, Sangiovese, Dolcetto, Rossesse
  • Best known wines: White from Cinque Terre, Rossesse di Dolceaqua
  • Food specialties: Pesto, Torta pasqualina, Artichokes, Fish Stew

Genoa

The coastal strip is known as the Italian Riviera. Liguria is one of Italy's smallest regions, and the topography is quite rugged as the Alps and the Apennine Mountains come down to the sea.
Vineyards are thus small and scattered, and they must compete for the limited available land with the region's flourishing flower growing indusrty, olive groves and vegetable gardens.
The capital Genoa has long been an important trading port and hence it has been influenced by contact with Spain, France and other parts of Italy. Genoa has been a player in the rise and fall of empires and the rich history of the Mediterranean over three milennia. The city has developed into a cultural melting pot.
This heritage has a reflection in the wine varieties used in Liguria, over 100 were counted in a census a few decades ago.


Wines of LiguriaThere are no outstanding wines in this region, unlike the neighbouring Lombardy which boasts it's world class Barolo and Barbaresco. Much of the production of Ligurian wine is used by the locals or to slake the thirst of the plentiful tourists, however some wines do show regional character and are well worth trying.
A few DOC wines from this region include
