Genziana liqueur
Genziana liqueur (Italian: liquore di genziana) or simply genziana is a liqueur, typical of several regions of Italy but especially Trentino and Alto Adige (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 gentian (Gentiana lutea).[2]

The name genziana is also used for a digestif, typical of the Abruzzo region in central 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]
