Bored with her job as a domestic servant, Sabina Marzadro founded the business in 1949. It was a hard slog but Sabina had two big things in her favour: Pristine botanicals of Italy’s alpine Trentio region and a burning desire to make great grappa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlowly but surely Marzadro perfected their skills, developing some of Italy’s finest grappas and adding liqueurs, amaro, whisky, cremes and herbal distillations along the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNowadays run by Sabina’s grandchildren, Marzadro is based in the beautiful mediaeval mountain village of Nogaredo, nestled in the Dolomites just north of Lake Garda.    Their drinks are top quality, commanding massive respect in Italy’s hard to impress distilling sector. Artifex hold by far the UK’s biggest range of their products.  Get some.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaly, along with France is probably the world leader for food and drink quality. Mediocrity just isn’t tolerated at all.  Marzadro’s Fieno (Hay) Garda upholds these standards and then some.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarzadro Fieno captivates with an enchanting, purely floral bouquet that instantly evokes the crisp alpine air of Northern Italy. On the palate, this artisanal liqueur delivers an exceptionally delicate and deeply aromatic experience. Each sip functions as a true sensory journey through a mountain meadow, unrolling a complex tapestry of wild botanicals, sweet dried grass, and subtle herbaceous undertones that finish with a rounded, harmonious warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistilling Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafted by the renowned Distilleria Marzadro, this alpine specialty is presented in a 70 cl bottle with an alcoholic content of 40% ABV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unique production method relies on a rapid infusion of freshly harvested hay into pure alcohol. To achieve a stunning concentration of natural mountain flavours, the process includes the redistillation of the hay that was previously utilised. This meticulous process ensures that the vast array of spontaneous botanical varieties found in the meadows is perfectly preserved inside the bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, the third generation of the Marzadro family guides the distillery, combining their preserved heritage of traditional alpine distillation with state-of-the-art innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u0026amp; Cocktail Suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarzadro Fieno is a highly versatile spirit that shines across multiple serves:\u003cbr\u003e•    Neat or Chilled: Serve it slightly chilled (around 10–12°C) or over a single large ice cube as a refined, light, and aromatic end to a meal.\u003cbr\u003e•    The Alpine Spritz: Combine 50 ml of Fieno with 75 ml of dry Prosecco and a splash of soda water.
