Composition
Honey is not listed among the botanicals the producer publicises, but the producer told the vegan-tracking site Barnivore by email in August 2021 that the formula contains honey in a very low proportion, which is enough to withhold the vegan label. Honey is inside the vegetarian line, so that label stands.
Open Food Facts, cross-checked · 8004400001317 — ABV is the producer's own labelled 39% alc./vol. (78 proof), reported uniformly across retailers and reference sources. Two independent Open Food Facts entries for the product agree on 0 g sugar, which matches the amaro's own reputation as unusually dry for the category. FoodData Central carries no record for Fernet-Branca at all - the branded database has amari from other producers but not this one. No energy figure is stated: nothing in either dataset gives a reliable kcal/100g, so the figure is left for the engine to derive from the alcohol content alone rather than guessed. Density has no measured source and is taken from the density-classes.json 'spirit-40' class, since the confirmed zero sugar puts this closer to a plain spirit than to a sugar-heavy liqueur.
