Distillery: Francoli Distillery

Produced by the Francoli Distillery in Italy’s beautiful Lake District of Piemonte, Fiorente is made using wild Italian elderflowers. It is vibrant in color and delightfully floral with a fresh taste of elderflower.

Fiorente Elderflower Liqueur Tasting Notes

Nose: Floral honeyed elderflower with faint cut grassy and mint.

Palate: Again, floral with honeyed sweetness. Not as rich as some other elderflower liqueurs with subtle mint seemingly taming the degree of lychee and honeyed sweetness.

Finish: Floral elderflower and cut grass light citrus acidity.

Distillery Information

The Francoli family have been distilling since 1875 and established their grappa distillery in Ghemme in 1951. Fratelli Francoli remains a family owned and family run business. The company grew rapidly in the 1960s and seventies due to the reputation of its grappa and this continues to drive sales of Luigi Francoli branded grappa to this day. Over the decades the Francoli family have also become well-known for the quality of liqueurs and wines but what is less appreciated is the family’s ethical approach to the environment which led to the company being certified for zero environmental impact since 2006.
