Collettivo Botanico – Herbal Liqueurs and Spirits
Collettivo Botanico was born on the slopes of Mount Amiata, inheriting the vision of Aurelio Visconti and reinterpreting it through a contemporary dialogue between natural wine culture and mixology. This extraordinary territory — a former volcano shaped by mineral-rich soils and influenced by both the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines — hosts rare, endemic, and sometimes endangered botanical species found nowhere else. These unique plants lie at the heart of Collettivo Botanico’s identity.
Liqueurs and spirits are crafted as a capsule of landscape: the Amaro Amiata, the controlled-sugar amari, and the Ratafià di Pera Picciòla evolve with the seasons and with the availability of these fragile local ingredients. The focus is always on purity, recognisability, and letting the flavour of the territory speak without embellishment.
For the development of many projects — such as Agresto and Pera Picciòla — Collettivo Botanico has collaborated with universities, research centres, and regional bodies, continuing a tradition of valuing and safeguarding the area’s botanical heritage.
Production remains intentionally essential: careful selection of wines and botanicals, cold maceration to preserve aromatic finesse, and small-batch, traceable bottlings. The result is a range of Amari and seasonal liqueurs that express the depth, biodiversity, and authenticity of Mount Amiata.
