Description
What kind of spirit is this
Essentiae Liquore di Pruni by Lunae is an artisanal sloe liqueur from Liguria with an alcohol content of 43%. Its intense sensory profile offers distinct hints of tree resin and warm spicy notes. On the palate, this spirit delivers a very dry, structured finish that is both harmonious and remarkably persistent. The deep ruby-red colour develops subtle amber highlights, reflecting a precise and balanced style, achieved through a 60-day infusion and 12 months of maturation.
Geographical origin
This distinctive spirit originates in Liguria, Italy, rooted in the historic Lunigiana area where the wild sloe berries are harvested. Using authentic regional methods, it relies on extended fruit infusions to capture the essence of the terroir. The profile seamlessly combines a natural wild plum character with pronounced woodland accents, ensuring a decidedly dry and structured tasting experience.
Production process
Essentiae Liquore di Pruni is handcrafted through a 60-day infusion process designed to extract the rich flavours of the sloe berries. The liquid then undergoes 12 months of maturation, which stabilises its robust structure and deepens its complexity. This resting phase allows the initial ruby hue to transition towards warmer shades, cementing a deeply resinous and aromatic profile with a persistent finish.
History and Curiosities
Crafted by Lunae Bosoni in Liguria, this artisanal sloe liqueur honours local heritage through an ancient recipe. The spirit serves as a homage to traditional Ligurian liqueur-making, utilising wild berries gathered from the historic Lunigiana area.

Cantine Lunae deepen their roots in the millenary hystory of this land and people, whose great vine-growing and wine-making tradition have inherited. Etruscans, or perhaps Ligures and then Romans, were the first to grow vineyards in the surroundings of the beautiful Luni, the "Moon City".
These lands have given birth to our vineyards, to our passion, to our wine!
