China Antico Elixir 70cl - Clementi

The China Antico Elixir by Clementi is a sublime expression of bitter liqueur, characterized by a traditional recipe that dates back to 1884. This elixir is produced in Italy using artisanal methods that preserve the purity and intensity of the natural ingredients.

The base of this distillate consists of a careful selection of Chinese herbs, including the prominent China Calissaja, known for its tonic and digestive properties. The recipe is enriched with a variety of aromatic herbs, roots, and barks, which contribute to creating a complex olfactory profile and a unique palatability. Among the secret ingredients, kept confidential by the Clementi family, are also extracts of quassia, gentian, and bitter orange.

Visually, the China Antico Elixir presents itself with an intense amber color, almost golden, which heralds the richness of its aromas. On the nose, it offers a symphony of citrus notes mixed with hints of alpine herbs and a touch of vanilla, which enchant the nose and invite tasting.

On the palate, the China Antico Elixir is vigorous yet balanced. The entry is sweet, immediately followed by a pleasant bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste, leaving the mouth clean and ready for another sip or pairing with light meals or as a digestive after dinner.

This liqueur is excellent both served neat, preferably chilled, and as a component in innovative cocktails, able to add a touch of originality and depth to the mix.

Each bottle of China Antico Elixir is a testament to the history and art of Italian liqueur making, offering a sensory experience that connects past and present, ideal for those who appreciate authentic and intense flavors.
