Lucano Amaro Zero 750ml

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. Unfortunately, the lucky period came to an end with the beginning of the Second World War, which interrupted production due to shortages of the raw materials needed. Despite this, the rise of the liqueur continued. After the second half of 1950s, thanks to the work and dedication of Leonardo and Giuseppe Vena, sons of the company’s founder, the artisan laboratory grew and became a true industrial factory. Production surged, climbing to 3.000 bottles of Amaro per year. In 1965, the company moved from the historic Pisticci location, among Luan hills, to Pisticci Scalo, where a new plant was built. In the same year, the production increased again and reached 117.000 litres.
