01. Faccia Brutto Spirits: The Resurgence of Craft Fernet
Faccia Brutto Spirits, founded by former chef Patrick Miller in Brooklyn, New York, produces the renowned Fernet Pianta, revolutionizing contemporary mixology with a precise selection of 21 rigorously chosen organic botanicals. Inspired by Italian traditions of digestive spirits and artisanal aperitifs, Faccia Brutto challenges traditional industrial formulas by eliminating artificial additives, synthetic colorants, and excess processed sugars.
Each batch is patiently infused by hand using organically grown plants, roots, flowers, and spices such as gentian root, peppermint, saffron, and myrrh. The result is a complex, herbal, resinous, and deeply balsamic profile, perfect for enjoying neat with ice, as a digestif after a sophisticated dinner, or as a key component in demanding craft cocktails.
Through La Cava Shop, you can acquire this New York gem and contrast its herbal bitterness with our exclusive catalog of selected red wine, enjoying priority and insured shipping throughout Mexico.

02. The Craftsmanship Behind Faccia Brutto
The distinctive feature of Faccia Brutto lies in the culinary philosophy applied to the distillation of amari and bitter liqueurs:
100% Organic Ingredients with No Added Caramel
Unlike traditional commercial fernet—which often uses ammonium sulfite caramel to simulate color and body—Faccia Brutto maintains the natural hue extracted directly from infused herbs, roots, and barks, offering a cleaner and fresher taste.
Small Batch Infusion and Maceration
Botanicals are macerated separately in neutral organic grain alcohol at controlled temperatures. This meticulous approach allows for optimal aromatic component extraction from each ingredient before final assembly and resting in stainless steel tanks.
