Distillery Info
Born in 1894, Amaro Lucano is based on a secret recipe passed from generation to generation of the Vena family. Due to the delicate blend of more than 30 herbs, it has a distinct flavour, ideal for any occasion.
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.
Some years later, the incredible success of this discovery earned this exquisite liqueur a reputation that reached beyond the borders of Pisticci and Lucania, appreciated throughout the Italian peninsula, reaching the refined palates of the Royal House of Savoy, to whom the Vena family become the official suppliers.
Since the second half of 1960s sales have grown rapidly.
The foresight of the Vena brothers in investing in big national publicity campaigns added to the fame of Amaro Lucano. It was no longer a local product, but a global phenomenon.
In the 1970s, this growth led the company to create other products alongside Amaro Lucano, such as Sambuca, Limoncello and Caffè.
