The story behind it
The maker
Cynar was created by Venetian entrepreneur and philanthropist Angelo Dalle Molle in 1952. Over the decades, it grew from a niche Italian digestif to a global bar staple, celebrated by bartenders for its unique botanical complexity.
How it is made
Launched in Italy in 1952, Cynar is an iconic bittersweet liqueur crafted from an infusion of 13 botanicals, prominently featuring artichoke leaves. The recipe remains a closely guarded secret, prepared under the supervision of the Campari Group's master blenders at their production estate.
