history
The Italian bitter drink was first produced in Turin in 1864 . In 1928, Ernst Luginbühl-Bögli bought the recipe for making Martinazzi in Switzerland, having previously sold the drink in Switzerland for eight years.

Today the Martinazzi Bitter is produced by the Matter-Luginbühl AG distillery in Kallnach in Bern .
