The story behind it

The maker

The Lazzaroni family began their legacy in Saronno, Italy, in 1851, initially gaining fame for their legendary Amaretti di Saronno cookies before expanding into fine liqueur production. For over a century, the historic producer has preserved traditional artisanal distillation techniques to create some of Italy's most celebrated spirits.

How it is made

This authentic Italian liqueur is produced according to a historic 19th-century recipe by distilling the spirits with Marasca cherry skins and crushed pits. This meticulous process imparts the signature complex, nutty, and floral profile prized by mixologists globally.
