A bottle of Fernet-Branca

In 1925 they opened their first and only production plant outside Italy in Argentina, the country that consumes the most Fernet-Branca due to the popularity of the fernet con coca cocktail.[2][3] In 2001, the company purchased from the Carpano family of Turin the rights to produce Punt e Mes.[4]
