Vintus, James Suckling 97 Points - In the past the Borsci family, originally from the Caucasus, moved to Albania because of political instability. In 1840 a part of the family, following the hero Giorgio Castriota Scandeberg, moved to Apulia in a lile village called San Marzano di Giuseppe where Giuseppe Borsci, inspired by an ancient family recipe, began to produce his own liqueur. The historical yellow label bears the double-headed eagle in honor to the time the family spent in Albania and the statemente "specialita’ orientale" (oriental specialty). That’s how San Marzano Borsci Elisir was born.

Wine Spectator, 95 Points - Ripe and juicy, boasting flavors of cherry, raspberry, spice and tobacco, accented by an iron note. This stays taut and focused on the finish. Racy and balanced. Best from 2019 through 2035.
