Genziana liqueur(Italian : liquore di genziana), or simply genziana, is a liqueur typical of several regions of Italy, especially Abruzzo (as well as of parts of France, where it is called liqueur de gentiane [1] ), which is produced by distilling a maceration of the roots of the Gentiana ( Gentiana lutea ). [2]

The name genziana is also used for a digestif, typical of the Abruzzo region of Italy. [3] It is also produced from the roots of the gentian but by steeping them in white wine rather than by any process involving distillation. [4] [2]
