In 1915, after running it for years on a rented basis, he took over an existing distillery in Santa Venerina, near Catania, with production based mainly on spirits, alcohol and wine derivatives. With the passage of time, the production of liqueurs obtained from ancient recipes began, which, thanks to the skilful dosage of aromatic and officinal herbs infused in top-quality alcohol, immediately won the favour of gourmets and the refined clientele of the time.
The tradition and the craft of master distiller passed from the founder Giuseppe to his son Sebastiano who, together with his brothers who had returned from Australia, set up the company "Fratelli Caffo - Distillerie di alcole, brandy e tartarici" (Caffo Brothers - Distilleries of spirits, brandy and tartaric liqueurs) reactivating an ancient distillery in Limbadi, Calabria, a locality at the time famous for its production of excellent red wine.
The company, now in the hands of Giuseppe's grandson of the same name and his son Sebastiano, combining experience and innovation, with the necessary changes to the distillation equipment and liquor processing to obtain the best results, has grown rapidly, even opening branches abroad and becoming the key point of a group of companies controlled by the holding company CAFFO 1915 srl.
Today, the ancient Distillery is the fulcrum of the Caffo 1915 Group, where start-ups and historical companies coexist within it, representing around 1000 years of intertwined histories with a modern and international outlook. Read more
