There are places and stories that are hard to forget.

Like how the Borducan Elixir herbal liquor is tied to the striking panorama at the culmination of the Sacro Monte di Varese string of Rosary Chapels. Its recipe, still today jealously kept secret, was created by Garibaldian Davide Bregonzio upon return from Algeria.

Just for the purpose of serving his Elixir, Davide opened his first establishment in 1872, in the village of Santa Maria del Monte.
Later on, in 1924 Anita, Davide's wife, built a Liberty style mansion that still today hosts the Caffè del Borducan. Through the generations, from Anita to Bruno Bregonzio, who perfected the recipe we know today.

Pressing on, rediscover the deeper tones of mountain herbs.
