Genziana liqueur (), 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 Jean-Louis Clade, Charles Jollès: La Gentiane. L'aventure de la fée jaune, édition Cabédita, 2006. ), which is produced by distilling a maceration of the roots of the Gentiana (Gentiana lutea).Il Giornale del Cibo: Liquore di genziana: la ricetta del tesoro "liquido" dell’Abruzzo
The name genziana is also used for a digestif, typical of the Abruzzo region of Italy. It is also produced from the roots of the gentian but by steeping them in white wine rather than by any process involving distillation.Stradadeiparchi.it: Tradizioni d’Abruzzo: il liquore di genziana
