Emilio Borsi Genziana Lutea

Item # 48992 1 L

When we met the family behind this generations old brand, tucked away in a hard to find corner of Tuscany, we knew we had to work with them. Literally everything made here is done by hand by either husband or wife or both. The philosophy is centered around purity, authenticity, transparency and letting time develop the harmony in these classic flavor profiles. This genepi liqueur has arguably the most direct and concentrated profile we have ever come across aromatically, totally unadulaterated. On the palate everything is more fleshed out and giving but still with the bitter pop you want at the end. A spirit that will certainly wake up your senses and tastebuds. Because of the artisan nature of production and meticulous sourcing of ingredients, supplies are always extremely limited.

Staff Pick Notes

This excellent liquor is made with the root of Genziana (gentian) Lutea. The dry root used has a typical smooth bitter flavor and it is beneficial for the digestion process. Fun fact: the plant gives flowers only after ten years of age. It is rare and protected; the roots can be picked only with proper authorization. Emilio Borsi, the original owner of this company, opened in the 1800's. He produced originally China Caljsaia, a product famous for curing malaria, a disease common in this swamping lands.. The company changed management several times but the business was always kept in the family. Since the 90's , they are focusing in liquors, with success. A perfect, after meal drink. Sip it by itself or with a splash of seltzer.
