Deep below the centre of Bormio are the fascinating cellars of Braulio, filled with the enormous Slavonian oak barrels that are used to age the liqueur. Bràulio is a bitter liqueur which was created in Bormio more than 140 years ago. Its story began in the pharmacy of Dr Giuseppe Peloni, a great expert in aromatic herbs.
