The Liqueur Factory “Morelli” was born in 1911 in Forcoli (Palaia), from an idea of Lord Leonello Morelli, whom was very keen on turning a passion into a real work. Leonello, then owner of a small bar, used to enjoy mixing extracts and essences to create infused liqueurs, which then he used to offer to the customers. That is how he had the idea of creating a liqueur factory, which was founded in 1911. It was an instant success, in a few years Morelli products spread to most of Italy, becoming synonymous with quality and authenticity. From 1911 to our times several Leonellos have taken the lead of the factory: Leonello’s son, Dante, and his nephew Piero, until 2009, when Piero’s sons are firmly working as the 4th generation of Morelli: Luca, Paolo, Marco. They are continuing the family tradition, creating (with their parents) in less than twenty years a company that has, among his customers, very important restaurants, lots of italian wineries, wholesale distributors of prestige and a network of direct representatives well branched throughout Italy.
