Il Vate – Ancient Bitter Liqueur of Lake Garda

Typical products and itineraries of Lake Garda Gardone Riviera
©
Among the cypresses of Gardone Riviera and the silent waves of Lake Garda, there is a secret kept through time. A lost recipe, passed down in hushed tones through the rooms of the Vittoriale and the shops of forgotten herbalists.
A dense blend of history, poetry, and visions.
Il Vate is not just a liqueur.
It is an evocation.
A liquid tribute to the visionary genius of Gabriele D’Annunzio, the poet who chose this corner of the lake as his refuge and kingdom.
It is said that every evening, before retiring among oriental carpets and unfinished pages, he would sip an amber elixir. A liqueur scented with ancient citrus, bitter roots, and the spirit of absinthe.
A calm fire for the mind.
A silent companion for inspiration.
Today, that tradition comes back to life.
Il Vate is the fruit of a rediscovery.
Herbs gathered from the slopes of Garda, artisanal stills, monastic patience. Every bottle is numbered, every drop tells a story.
Drink it slowly.
Listen to what it whispers.
Because it is not a liqueur to drink.
It is a secret to listen to.
Our liqueurs are made in Gardone Riviera, in the heart of Lake Garda. Discover more about the area by visiting the official Garda website. https://www.visitgarda.com/it/lago_di_garda/

Original artisanal liqueur Lake Garda "The Cherry Garden" – Gardone Riviera
It is said that, hidden among the hills of Gardone Riviera, there was a small secret garden where cherries grew, dark as velvet and scented with the sun and lake breeze.
According to legend, every summer, a young woman named Livia would pick the fruit by hand at dawn, whispering ancient words of love to them. They said that those cherries, later immersed in spirits, retained not only the intense flavor of the earth, but also the whispers and dreams of those who had picked them.
That liqueur, bitter and sweet like memories, was offered only to the dearest guests. One sip, and time seemed to slow down.
Today, this liqueur is born in the same spirit: from the heart of the lake, from fruit ripened in the sun, and from a story that still smells of summer.
Cherry Liqueur — Dedicated to the garden that no one ever found, but everyone remembers.
The real Limoncello from Lake Garda
The story of the true limoncino from Lake Garda The true limoncino from Garda is a special lemon liqueur. It is a beverage with a transparent yellow color, a sweet flavor, a strong aroma of fresh lemons, and an alcohol content of 25/30° alc. vol. Limoncino is a sweet lemon-based liqueur, typical of the riviera.
It is made with lemon peels, which are left to macerate in pure alcohol for at least 20 days. At this point, a syrup made of water and sugar is added, and the liqueur is filtered and bottled.
The origin of limoncello is shrouded in mystery. Legend has it that limoncello liqueur was invented by the monks of the peninsula in the 17th century. To fight the winter cold, they prepared a liqueur based on lemon and honey. The recipe was then passed down from generation to generation, eventually becoming the limoncello we know today.
Another theory maintains that limoncino was actually born in the 19th century, thanks to a family of fishermen on Lake Garda. To preserve lemons in winter, they would macerate them in alcohol. The result was a liqueur with a unique flavor, which was then marketed.
Whatever its true origin, limoncino is now an iconic beverage of Lake Garda. It is produced all over the world, but its homeland is with the lemons of the lake and the Brescia coast, where it is still possible to find small artisanal producers who make it using traditional methods.
THE SOLDIER'S LIQUEUR
The Absinthe of the Soldier from Gardone Riviera During the war, Gardone Riviera was not only a refuge for poets and aristocrats; it was also a land of silent returns. Among the hills scented with olive trees and the shores of the lake, the soldier returned from the eastern front. He carried with him joys and sorrows, in his hand he held a bunch of aromatic herbs and a crumpled diary. In a small cellar beneath his house, he developed a recipe inspired by French absinthe, but with a Garda soul: with vanilla, absinthe powder and cinnamon, cloves, cocoa, pepper, bay leaf, with a touch of orange peel and magical lemon from Lake Garda, he called it “the bitter green of memory”
