Grappa with infusion of Ruta herb. Thus Castore Durante, a 16th century doctor, describes the Ruta Graveolens in his Herbario Nuovo: “It is hot and dry in the third degree. She is not only sharp in taste, but bitter. It digests, resolves, engraves, dries up valiantly and drives out the wind ”. The Ruta has in fact been known since the most remote antiquity for its digestive properties and for a sphere of magic that surrounds it: its flower in fact has the shape of a cross, a divine symbol, and for this reason it was attributed the power to remove the evil spirits.
