More questions
The Braulio Amaro Riserva is a prestigious distillate that reflects the rich tradition and skilled craftsmanship of the producing house, born in the depths of the Italian Alps. Packaged in a 70cl bottle, this reserve stands out for its extended and selected aging process, which results in a liqueur with a unique and distinctly refined taste.
This reserve version of the classic Braulio Amaro is aged for a longer period compared to the traditional formulation, thus becoming enriched with deeper and more complex nuances. Its aromatic notes are a harmonious fusion of alpine herbs, roots, flowers, and berries, all gathered in the valleys surrounding the production. These include gentian, juniper, and mint, which give the distillate a fresh aroma and a vigorous taste.
On the palate, the Braulio Amaro Riserva presents itself with a lively yet balanced entry. The taste profile is characterized by a bitter introduction typical of amari, which then develops into a medium body and concludes with a long persistence, leaving a pleasantly balsamic and slightly spicy aftertaste.
Ideal as a digestive after a rich meal, it is recommended to be served at room temperature or slightly chilled to enhance all its aromatic qualities. The Braulio Amaro Riserva is not only an excellent after-dinner drink but can also be used as a sophisticated base for innovative cocktails.
In conclusion, the Braulio Amaro Riserva represents an excellent choice for lovers of high-quality spirits and authentically Italian products. This liqueur will not fail to impress with its elegance and distinctive character.

The story
The origin of the best-known product (Amaro Braulio) goes back to pharmacist Francesco Peloni, who in 1875 began preparing infusions from alpine plants in his pharmacy in Bormio. Over time production developed in the family's cellars in Bormio; the Braulio brand experienced changes in corporate ownership, while processing and aging have historically remained connected to the Peloni facilities in the Valtellina area.
Distillation
For grappa, traditional distillation in small copper stills (sometimes by bain-marie according to historical sources); for the amari extraction is done through infusion/maceration of the botanicals.
Ageing
Some expressions (notably Riserva versions) are aged in wooden barrels; the practice of barrel aging in the cellars of Bormio is reported for aged and special releases.
Raw materials
- alpine herbs and plants
- berries and roots (gentian, juniper, wormwood, alpine yarrow)
- pomace/grapes for grappa
