Description

Caffè Borghetti is Italy’s original coffee liqueur — a rich, velvety spirit made from authentic espresso coffee. Created in 1860 by Ugo Borghetti to celebrate the opening of Italy’s first railway between Pescara and Ancona, it quickly became a national favourite for its true-to-espresso character and perfect balance of sweetness, strength, and aromatic depth.

Made from a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, Caffè Borghetti captures the essence of Italian espresso culture — bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. Whether sipped neat, over ice, or mixed into coffee cocktails, it remains a timeless symbol of Italian craftsmanship and café heritage.

Produced by Fratelli Branca Distillerie — the iconic Milan-based house behind Fernet-Branca — Caffè Borghetti stands as a proud emblem of Italian tradition. The recipe, perfected over 160 years ago by Ugo Borghetti, has remained unchanged, ensuring the same authentic espresso flavour that has defined Italian liqueur culture for generations.

Still made in Italy from carefully roasted coffee beans, pure spirit, and natural ingredients, Caffè Borghetti embodies both the heritage of Italian cafés and the excellence of Fratelli Branca’s distilling mastery.
