Rabarbaro Zucca Liqueur

Rabarbaro Zucca, a distinguished Italian herbal liqueur, is a bold and complex Amaro crafted from authentic Chinese rhubarb root—sourced exclusively from the mountainous regions of China’s Kansu Province—alongside a blend of rare, secret natural herbs. First created by Ettore Zucca in 1845 as a traditional remedy for indigestion, this iconic rhubarb-infused liqueur has since evolved into a beloved staple of Italian aperitivo culture.​

With its rich, bittersweet profile and deep herbal complexity, Rabarbaro Zucca shines in both classic and contemporary cocktails. Whether adding depth to a Negroni or Sbagliato or inspiring innovative signature serves, its distinctive character makes it an essential ingredient for adventurous mixologists and Amaro enthusiasts alike.

Zucca

Dating all the way back to 1845, the Zucca story is an Italian tale about a family that had faith in a unique product. One created with a very special ingredient: the rhizome of the Chinese rhubarb plant. Ettore Zucca was inspired by a revitalizing rhubarb-based infusion that his wife Tilde used to drink. To enhance its properties, Ettore turned it into a unique alcoholic drink which he used to offer
His friends in his workshop. The name Zucca is also associated with some of the most traditional and best-known cafes in major European cities, from Milan to Turin and Paris appreciated by King Victoria Emanuele iii. Zucca became the official supplier of the Italian royal family.

Her husband, Ettore Zucca, revitalized the infusion turning it into a unique alcoholic drink, usually offered to his friends. Carlo Zucca - Ettore’s & Tilde’s successor - found out the recipe in the family workshop and launched Zucca brand, in 1919.
