Centerbe production involves macerating 100 different botanical herbs in neutral spirit, creating an extremely complex and powerful liqueur. The process begins with carefully selecting mountain herbs and botanicals, which are then macerated in high-proof neutral spirit for an extended period. The maceration period is crucial, as it determines the intensity and complexity of the herbal character. After maceration, the liquid is filtered and sweetened with sugar syrup, though the sweetness is balanced against the powerful herbal character. The final product is bottled at 70-75% ABV, making it one of Italy's strongest liqueurs.
