Born in 1894, Amaro Lucano is based on a secret recipe passed from generation to generation of the Vena family, reflecting over a century of tradition and craftsmanship in Italian liqueur production. In the back of his biscuit factory in Pisticci, Cavalier Pasquale Vena created a mixture of herbs with a balanced, consistent flavour, with citrus and floral notes—this is how Amaro Lucano was born. Due to the delicate blend of more than 30 herbs, it has a distinct flavour, ideal for any occasion, showcasing the expertise and dedication that Cavalier Pasquale Vena brought to his creation. Some years later, the incredible success of this discovery earned this exquisite liqueur a reputation that reached beyond the borders of Pisticci and Lucania, becoming appreciated throughout the Italian peninsula. The quality and distinctive character of Amaro Lucano reached the refined palates of the Royal House of Savoy, to whom the Vena family became the official suppliers, cementing the liqueur's status as one of Italy's most prestigious bitter liqueurs and a testament to the Vena family's commitment to excellence.
Production Methods
Amaro Lucano is crafted using the secret recipe created by Cavalier Pasquale Vena in 1894, carefully guarded and passed from generation to generation of the Vena family to preserve its distinctive character. The production process involves the delicate blend of more than 30 specially selected herbs, each contributing to the balanced, consistent flavour with citrus and floral notes that define this exquisite liqueur. During the production process, special attention is given to the ripening phase, because at this stage the infusion must be left to rest for a long period of time, allowing the complex flavours to develop and integrate. During this procedure, the flavour develops its finish, achieving the balanced, consistent character with citrus and floral notes that are the distinctive mark of Amaro Lucano. The extended ripening phase ensures that the strong yet delicately balanced flavour is achieved, creating the sophisticated profile that made Amaro Lucano the choice of the Royal House of Savoy. This meticulous attention to detail and respect for tradition ensures that every bottle of Amaro Lucano delivers the same exceptional quality that has been appreciated for over 130 years.
