From its early years, Santoni placed great emphasis on selecting high-quality ingredients and using traditional production methods, ensuring the distinctive, unmistakable taste of its products.
The Santoni Distillery was founded in 1918 in Sant’Ilario, Emilia-Romagna, and thus has over a century of experience in producing liqueurs and spirits. The company has grown from a small, family-run distillery into an internationally recognized producer of herbal and fruit liqueurs. From its early years, Santoni placed great emphasis on selecting high-quality ingredients and using traditional production methods, ensuring the distinctive, unmistakable taste of its products.
A hallmark of the Santoni Distillery is the careful processing of local herbs, roots, and fruits, combined with expertise in distillation and maceration. Products such as the Santoni Amaro 16° exemplify this philosophy: through the harmonious balance of bitter herbs, spicy notes, and subtle fruity nuances, a digestif of great complexity is created, reflecting the Italian liqueur tradition.
Today, the Santoni Distillery stands for traditional craftsmanship combined with modern quality assurance. In addition to classic amari, the company also produces liqueurs with innovative flavor profiles, appreciated in international markets. The distillery blends old recipes and artisanal skills with modern production standards, ensuring both consistency and high quality. Despite growing internationalization, Santoni remains true to its roots: local ingredients, careful processing, and the characteristic taste of Italian herbal liqueurs remain at the heart of every bottle.
