The story behind it

The maker

According to legend, in 1525, a young widow in Saronno created this recipe as a gift of gratitude for the Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. The Reina family rediscovered this secret formula in the early 20th century, founding the brand that would introduce this Italian masterpiece to the world.

How it is made

Crafted in Saronno, Italy, this legendary liqueur is produced using a recipe dating back to 1525, which employs high-quality apricot kernel oil rather than actual nuts. The iconic square decanter bottle was designed by a master glassmaker from Murano to elevate its artistic legacy.
