The taste of tradition for a modern pleasure. In 1884, Dr. Giuseppe Clementi began producing the Antico Elixir of china (cinchona), managing to combine creative enjoyment with the healing properties of the plant. Since then, the Clementi family has continued to prepare the elixir with a care and dedication that remains unchanged. Only cinchona bark from the precious calisaya and succirubra species is used, a secret of the indigenous people from South America, and after skilful processing in the ancient pharmacy in Fivizzano, it finally arrives in your glass. It has scents of aromatic herbs, citrus fragrances and bewitching caramelized notes in a body of persuasive creaminess. Sensations that perfectly marry the classic taste of chocolate or cream ice cream, refined pastries or tasty dried fruit. You will appreciate the Antico Elixir with ice and a slice of orange as a tantalizing aperitif, with grapefruit juice and ginger ale for a thirst-quenching cocktail, served warm to invigorate you in cold winters, to add in a delicious coffee or simply as an effective digestive. However you prefer it, the Ancient Elixir will give you a truly one of a kind feeling.
