Giovanni Rapa founded the liqueur factory of the same name in 1880 in Piemonti in Valle Cervo, near Andorno Micca, a small town in the province of Biella where he still resides today. It is in the same year that the founder dedicated himself to the production of Ratafià , carrying on a century-old tradition. It is a liqueur composed of a cold infusion of fruit or flowers and alcohol such as brandy or wine. With an intense and versatile taste, Piedmontese Ratafià can be obtained from different raw materials, such as Black Cherry Ratafià, Juniper Ratafià, and many others. Passionate about flowers and alpine herbs, Giovanni Rapa is also involved in the creation and production of Walser, a bitter that comes from an ancient Valle d'Aosta tradition, obtained from digestive herbs, whose recipe is still faithfully followed today. The farsighted founder of the company obtained numerous awards: he was awarded by the S.A.R. Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia, by Pope Leo XIII and Pius X and obtained the patent from the Duke of Genoa.
