The story
The brand's origins date back to the mid-19th century in Ancona: the recipe for the coffee liqueur attributed to Ugo Borghetti is historically placed around 1860. Over time Borghetti became famous for its coffee liqueur and for sambuca under the Borghetti name; the brand is now part of the Fratelli Branca Distillerie portfolio.
Production philosophy
To preserve and promote an Italian tradition of historic liqueurs: offering products rooted in espresso culture and anise-based liqueurs, while maintaining recipes and characteristic flavour profiles recognisable over time.
Territory
Origins in the city of Ancona (Marche, Italy); the brand is currently managed and distributed nationally and internationally by Fratelli Branca Distillerie, headquartered in Milan.
Production method
Caffè Borghetti is presented as a product made with real Italian espresso, using a blend of Arabica and Robusta and prepared with a traditional moka machine at production scale. Sambuca Borghetti is made from a selection of star anise flowers; the official description emphasizes the choice of aromatic raw materials.
