Into the world of plants
MASTERWORT – THE MASTER OF ROOTS
After reaching our soil from central Europe and finding a perfect habitat for itself here, this plant has thrived in particular in the forests, in mountain pastures and even high up in alpine environments. The plant I am describing is IMPERATORIA (Peucedanum ostruthium), a close relation of angelica, which I mentioned in the previous edition, and which also has reddish white flowers gathered in umbrella patterns on stems as long as a metre.
Here too, the prized part of the plant is its root. The large, woody, knotty and ringed root was first known by the Germans, who called it the ‘master of roots’ for good reason.
Masterwort is an effective remedy against inflammation, it calms muscular spasm, facilitates the expulsion of intestinal wind, promotes sweating, helps keep the digestion regular and stimulates the appetite.
Its use is therefore highly indicated for the treatment of constipation or slow digestion, and the spasms that these conditions cause in certain subjects, of nervous lack of appetite, chronic gastritis and gastroduodenal spasms.(...)

Imperatoria Boroni is distilled from masterwort roots fermented with a precise formula used forover 150 years by our family and which preserves the medicinal properties of the root intact. Masterwort roots are harvested at altitudes above 1000 metres in the woods and damp underbrush.
After initial cleaning, the roots are placed in jute sacks and taken to a dedicated area where they are selected, cleaned, cut and then put into fermentation vats. The secrets for maintaining the flavour and properties of the masterwort lie in the completely manual processes used to prepare and ferment the roots. Imperatoria Boroni is produced with the original wood-fired water bath alembic still. Alcohol content: 44% Characteristics: a colourless distillate with a brilliance in the glass, with a nose defined by distinct balsamic sensations and the typical aromas of the original root. Enveloping on the palate and very aromatic, balanced and full-bodied. A persistent aroma, with its highly distinctive spiced note, reveals that this is a truly noble distillate. Excellent at the end of a meal, but also as a companion for meditation. Serve at 12°, in small tulip shaped glasses. contents: lt. 0,50 - 0,20 - 0,10 Tigulliovino - Degustazione |
