History
Amaro Felsina Ramazzotti Bitters was first made in Milan in 1815, created by Ausano Ramazzotti. He started with a small store that sold wine, liqueurs, and pharmaceutical herbs. He decided to create a tonic that would incorporate the herbs, and began selling the mixture to taverns. He set up a public location selling the tonic near the Scala in Milan, and set up a production plant in the centre of town
The manufacturing buildings were destroyed by bombing in 1943; the company had to rebuild.
1969 - The company opened its first foreign plant in Switzerland.
1970 - The company opened a plant in Cologne, Germany.
1971 - The company opened new manufacturing complexes in Milan outside the city, to give them more room.
1985 - The company was sold to the Pernod Ricard group.
1995 - Production was moved out of Lombardy entirely, and transferred to Canelli, a town in the province of Asti in the region of Piedmont.
Amaro Felsina Ramazzotti experienced a surge of trendiness in the 1980s, which no doubt helped to boost the company's appeal for 1985 sales.
