History

The distillery was foundded in 1845. In 1925, Fratelli Branca opened its first and only production plant outside Italy in Argentina, the country that consumes the most Fernet-Branca due to the popularity of the fernet con coca cocktail.[2][3] During the following decade, the founder was joined by his sons Luigi (1833–1886), Giuseppe (1837–1888) and Stefano (1843–1891), who focused on strengthening the distribution network in Italy and abroad. On the death of Stefano Branca in 1891, a few years after that of his father and brothers, his wife Maria Branca Scala took charge of the management of a company that at that time had about fifty employees and over 300 workers, and which was awarded the following year by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce for being among the most distinguished companies in exporting. In 1905, the company's trademark was officially registered—an eagle with spread wings that claw a bottle with the world below—destined for lasting notoriety and conceived by the painter Leopoldo Metlicovitz, exponent of the artistic movement of Liberty and one of the fathers of modern poster design. Italian advertising.[4] In 2001, the company purchased from the Carpano family of Turin the rights to produce Punt e Mes.[5]
