Braulio Bitter Liqueur
Braulio is a
famous Alpine digestive bitter liqueur comprising selected local herbs
including yarrow, absinthe, gentian, juniper and a secret ingredient that only
the proprietor knows. The recipe was perfected by Doctor Francesco Peloni in
1875.
The ageing process is unique in that it takes place in Slavonian oak barrels
for two years (five for Braulio Riserva).
This 21-proof liqueur has perfectly balanced flavours and an incomparable
aroma, making it the ideal digestif to complement the traditionally rich
Valtellina cuisine.
Tour of the Braulio Cellars
Braulio is
produced and left to age for up to three years in cellars that were
purpose-built in the 19th and 20th centuries, located in the historic
pedestrian street Via Roma in the centre of Bormio. The cellars house the
large, much-prized Slavonian oak barrels where the liqueur is jealously guarded
while it ages. The infusion and filtration processes take place in the
subterranean cellars, where the alcohol is also stored and aged. The cellars
were recently refurbished and were expanded from 4,880 sqm to 6,516 sqm, with
the aim of doubling production over three years.
