Genziana liqueur (Italian: liquore di genziana), or simply genziana, is a liqueur typical of several regions of Italy, especially Abruzzo (as well as of parts of France, where it is called liqueur de gentiane[1]), which is produced by distilling a maceration of the roots of the Gentiana (Gentiana lutea).[2]
The name genziana is also used for a digestif, typical of the Abruzzo region of Italy.[3] It is also produced from the roots of the gentian but by steeping them in white wine rather than by any process involving distillation.[4][2]
