Braulio Cellars

Get ready to meet Braulio, the bitter liqueur from Bormio made from 13 herbs and medicinal plants.
Braulio is a natural bitter that carries the aromas and flavors of the Valtellina nature, in the surroundings of the town of Bormio. Aged for up to two years in Slavonian oak barrels, it has been produced with the same care and passion for 150 years as when it was first created.

In the first half of the 19th century, Dr. Giuseppe Peloni founded the pharmacy of Bormio, a small alpine town surrounded by slopes where nature is diverse and lush. Curious about the flora around him, he decided to study it and pass on his knowledge to his son Francesco, an alchemist, who during his experiments with herbal infusions gave life to the Braulio bitter in 1875. Time is the most precious ingredient. A minimum of 15 months of aging in barrels is needed to make Braulio what it is.
