DISTILLERY & Artisan LIQUEURS – Emilio BORSI Liquori – Cinchona based digestive “Elixir China Calisaja”.
Learn the secrets of modern “alchemists”, taste the power of the nature, enjoy Tuscan plates in a panoramic terrace.
When you arrive you’ll be received by Anna Maria and/or Nicola, the couple of owners and unique workers…
They’ll show and explain everything about their unique in the world way of making their liqueurs…
HANDS are the only machines and raw ingredients are only natural and mainly produced here.
A pair of psychopaths, believe me: they still produce entirely by hand and following inherited recipes who come from “800, a small range of liqueurs (a maximum of 5,000 bottles per year only, each single one hand prepared…).
LOCATION:
Castagneto Carducci (Livorno)
South Tuscan coast

Above all stands the “Elixir of China Calisaja”: they pulverize the pieces of bark of cinchona tree by beating them by hand in an old bronze mortar with a so huge pestle.
That acquires a sense when you are told that this way you avoid heating during crushing of bark and then the degradation of the active principles.
When you’ll drink a sip after a local lunch made of wild boar you’ll realize that the active ingredients for digestion are active, indeed, very active !!!)… not to mention the cold dissolve of sugar in alcohol, various long infusions, filtrature, aging in oak barrels, etc.
Taste all of their specialties: the China of course, but also the Liquor of the Shepherd (amazing too, milk and lemon), the Amarancia and the Gentian.
After the visit of this incredible laboratory and the “esotheric” liquers tasting, you’ll reach in five minutes the panoramic restaurant where you can immediately test the digestive properties of Emilio Borsi liqueurs !!!
This PRIVATE experience includes:
The Amarancia liqueur is made with the bitter oranges of Count Gaddo della Gherardesca.
We have continued in the healing tradition (Elixir of cinchona also has a medical certificate) as the bitter oranges were in fact used for scurvy, the lack of vitamin C.
The base of all liqueurs is a 33 ° pure alcohol, gluten-free and very light.
Cinchona is a bark from Ecuador that is cleaned, beaten in our ancient cast iron mortar for 20-25 hours, left to macerate in alcohol for 4 months, aged in oak barrels for 6 months and finally bottled.
Orange and lemon are extracted by hand, in a particular juicer and filtered with untreated paper.

Just an example of the various seasonal menus and wine pairings that you can enjoy on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Bolgheri vineyards as far as the sea or in the choreographic ancient oil mill room.
