Génépi Génépi Génépi or génépy (in French) or "genepì" (in Italian) is a traditional herbal liqueur or aperitif popularized in the Alpine regions of Europe. "Genepi" also refers to alpine plants of the genus "Artemisia" (commonly called "wormwood") that provide the liqueur's flavor and color, and the French Savoy region adjacent to the Aosta Valley, where the plants grow and where the beverage originated.

It is a digestif typically served cold or at room temperature, though it is also occasionally served as an aperitif with sparkling white wine. The original recipe dates to 1826, conceived by Francesco Peroni, a pharmacist and botanist of Bormio who studied the beneficial properties of various local herbs. Production of Braulio began in 1875. Since 1999, the amaro has been a property of Casoni Liquori S.p.A., a company based in Finale Emilia (Modena), although production continues at the Peroni family farms in Bormio. The trademark is held by Fratelli
