OPIFICIUM
ARTISANAL HEART, REBEL SPIRIT
Opificium expresses its character through the genuine vibrancy of
a mosaic of aromas. It describes a land that lies on the border between the magnificence
of the Republic of Venice and the glimmering East, wedged between the
Alps and the Mediterranean, among the memories of the Roman Empire and the
old botanical know-how of the Celtic peoples.
Friulian by birth, excellent by nature, proud by tradition.

OPIFICIUM: THE ART OF TASTE
When flavours express the art and culture of the region, taste becomes experience. Liquoreria
Friulana's Opificium range was created in Spilimbergo, the world-famous town of mosaics with its
spectacular medieval centre. The crystal-clear GIN recalls the waters of the Tagliamento River on
which the town stands; the gold of the BITTERS echoes the magnificence of Venetian rule, whose signs
remain clearly visible in the local art; and the aromas of the VERMOUTH evoke the typicity of
Verduzzo Friulano and the winegrowing excellence of these lands. The balsamic aromas of AMARO
bring us back to stable meadows of the nearby Friulian Dolomites.

A mosaic of aromas is expressed in the products of the Opificium range.
The botanical scents of the Friulian Dolomites and the Carnic Alps marry the aromas of the
Mediterranean Sea that laps at the Friulian lagoons. The result is an elegant combination of
wormwood, gentian and masterwort that mingles with citrusy notes of sweet and bitter orange,
juniper, Calabrian bergamot, clary sage and Verduzzo Friulano.

Opificium Gin is the result of Liquoreria Friulana's passion, artisanal skill and quest for excellence.
The carefully selected juniper berries are
enhanced by typically Mediterranean aromas of citrus
fruits, such as lemon, bitter orange, Calabrian bergamot and mandarin.

Sweet and bitter orange are combined with wormwood from the Friulian Dolomites and gentian, following
a unique recipe that brings out the violet scent of the iris rhizome and the "burning" power of masterwort,
enfolded in the exotic, seductive aroma of cascarilla on the finish.

From the natural aromas and scents of the Carnic Pre-Alps and the Friulian Dolomites,
the idea of this bitter was born. It expresses the essence of nature locked in this regions land.
