Piperna dello Scapriccio is one of the most iconic traditional liqueurs from the island of Ischia. This artisanal bitter is made from the renowned Piperna herb, a fragrant wild plant that grows abundantly on the volcanic slopes of Ischia.
Historically used in local cuisine—especially in the famous Ischian-style rabbit—Piperna offers an unmistakable aroma and a bold herbal flavour. In this liqueur, its essence is enhanced through a slow infusion process that balances sweetness, freshness, and aromatic intensity.
The preparation of Piperna requires a meticulous and complex method, impossible to replicate at home. The original recipe is carefully guarded by the producing family, making this bitter a truly authentic and exclusive Ischian specialty.
