About:

At first created to aid digestion, the origin of Zucca Rabarbaro dates to 1845. Tilde Zucca was prescribed a rhubarb based infusion for stomach trouble and her husband, Ettore, was captivated by the distinctive mix of ingredients. He was inspired to add alcohol to complete the taste and as a result, Zucca Rabarbaro was created. First enjoyed as a homemade spirit, it quickly became the signature liquor of Milan’s distinguished society. Reprising the original recipe, Zucca Rabarbaro was re-launched with a revitalized flavour and more potent kick at 30% alcohol to bring a unique dimension to cocktails.
