Has anyone come across a wine called ferma branca? What does it taste like?

Answer 1

Fernet Branca is Italian not Spanish and it is not a wine...

"Born in 1845 after a secret recipe never disclosed, up to today kept by the family and unchanged with time; it is, in fact, a case history in the trade. Always referred to as “the digestive”, it is the perfect drink to those who enjoy extending an evening's pleasures.

The secret of its unique, unmistakable taste lies in the wise recipe: 27 herbs picked in 4 continents and aged in oak casks for over a year.

Among these:
- Aloes: a natural source of a great deal of important nutritional elements. Antioxydant Aloes has revitalizing properties;
- Gentian root: it grows in the mountains.
- Dried, it is a real natural “pick-me-up” with a characteristic bitterish taste;
- Rhubarb: a tonic and depurative;
- Gum Myrrh: anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibactrial properties;
- Red Cinchona bark: a natural tonic

and other exotic spices such as Colombus, Galanga and Zedoary.

Answer 2

ferna branca is spanish and not really a wine. it is very similar to underberg. and is used to settle stomach upsets and hangovers, but if you drink much of it you will rapidly be drunk again. it's made up of herbs and has a very high alchohol content and a vile taste. but it does what it's made to do. if you order in a bar it will probably come with a glass of cold or water. or you can buy it in bodegas or supermarkets.just finish of by saying again it tastes vile but in a nice kind of way, you have to taste it yourself to know what it tastes like. bottoms up
