Established in 1964 in the beautiful village of Monterosso al Mare, one of
the five villages of Liguria's famed Cinque Terre coastline, today Stefano
Bergamino and Camilla Moggia continue the family tradition of producing a wide
range of spirits and liqueurs. Amaro Camatti is a Genovese specialty, first made
by Umberto Briganti in 1923 and named after his wife. Bitters were originally
prepared by the local pharmacist and prescribed for their healing properties.
After disappearing from the market for several decades, Stefano and Camilla
acquired the rights to produce Amaro Camatti, remaining faithful to the original
(and secret) recipe of Umberto. It has a unique taste of China and Gentian with
menthol and amaretto. A taste of Genovese history.
Alpicella was created
by a monk in 1630 as an offering to pilgrims who visited the Monastery in Velva,
high in the mountains above Monterosso. This ancient formula includes 32
mountain herbs and can be enjoyed on ice or with a splash of
soda.
