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.
