AboutGruppo Caffo 1915
Giuseppe Caffo distilled grape pomace near Mount Etna before buying a distillery at Santa Venerina in 1915. His sons developed the Fratelli Caffo company and expanded into Limbadi, Calabria, where later generations continued the family business. Alongside distillation, Caffo cultivates herbs and prepares its own infusions.
Its Calabrian liqueur Vecchio Amaro del Capo is made by infusing twenty-nine herbs, flowers, fruits and roots, including citrus, liquorice, chamomile and juniper. It is served very cold.

Orange blossom, chamomile and anise lead an aromatic nose, joined by mint, liquorice and the first hint of Calabrian chilli. The palate keeps the original herb, flower, fruit and root infusion at its core, balancing gentle bitterness and sweetness with a steady warming heat. The spice builds without overwhelming the layered botanical character, carrying through a clean and persistent finish. Serve very cold as a bracing digestif, or use a measured pour to add depth and heat to cocktails.
