The fragrances of this liqueur date back to the XVI0 century, when coffee arrived to the Ligurian sea coast thanks to Genova's sailors. The liqueur is produced with Moka coffee maker, in small quantities , respecting an ancient Ligurian recipe and using characteristic and selected coffee blends. Intense and persistent aromas.
Essentiae was created in 1998 by Diego and Debora Bosoni with Fiorella Stoppa, a long-time expert in the art of making liqueurs using the local tradition of cold infusion. They are focused on keeping traditions alive and producing natural, crafted liqueurs from ancient Ligurian and Mediterranean recipes. Every liqueur is hand prepared with high-quality ingredients sourced from local crops at their peak harvest. These liqueurs have extremely distinctive flavors: they can be enjoyed 'straight' as traditionally done or 'mixed' in fun cocktails!
Mixed Drinks & Cocktail recipes were created by Michele Venturini, Award-Winning Mixologist & Essentiae's Brand Ambassador. The Essentiae workshop is located at Ca'Lunae, the newly renovated 1700s farmhouse that hosts the winery, tasting room, and a museum with local artifacts.
