Bordiga Elisir Genziana (Gentiana liqueur)

Earthy. Bitter. Deeply rooted in tradition.
Bordiga Elisir Genziana is a bold and authentic expression of Italy’s alpine heritage — a liqueur born from the roots of the mountains themselves. Crafted by the historic Bordiga distillery in Piedmont, this elisir captures the unmistakable character of gentian, a wild alpine flower revered for centuries for its invigorating bitterness and natural vitality. Each bottle reflects the rugged beauty of the Italian Alps, where Bordiga’s distillers carefully harvest and macerate gentian roots to create a liqueur that is earthy, aromatic, and profoundly complex.

The flavour of Elisir Genziana is an ode to purity and tradition. Its distinctive bitterness, balanced by gentle herbal sweetness, creates a layered experience that lingers long after each sip. The spirit opens with floral and rooty notes, revealing a rich depth that is both grounding and refreshing — a true testament to Bordiga’s mastery of botanical liqueurs. Enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a sophisticated cocktail ingredient, it offers an adventurous alternative to classic amaros and bitters.

For Irish drinkers who appreciate authentic craftsmanship and nuanced flavour, Bordiga Elisir Genziana brings a taste of the Alps to Ireland. Its robust herbal intensity and clean mountain freshness make it ideal for slow sipping after a meal or for adding complexity to cocktails. It’s the kind of liqueur that invites discovery — traditional, distinctive, and beautifully Italian.
