	Who Gruppo Caffo 1915 (also known as the Fratelli Caffo Distillery) makes Vecchio Amaro del Capo Caffo. The distillery is a family-owned company, and the amaro is their flagship product. The recipe uses 29 local Calabrian herbs, roots, fruits, and flowers, and the production process, from maceration to bottling, takes approximately one year.
	Where Limbadi, in the Calabria region of Italy
	What Vecchio Amaro del Capo Caffo harnesses the botanical richness of Calabria in a single bottle. This family-guarded recipe blends 29 herbs, flowers, fruits, and roots—each harvested at peak ripeness and immediately macerated to preserve their vibrant character. Bright citrus from sweet and bitter oranges and tangerines mingles with cooling peppermint and hyssop, while warming spices like licorice, juniper, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon create depth and complexity. Gentian and chamomile round out the profile with earthy sophistication. The result is a full-bodied Calabrian amaro that captures the essence of Southern Italian tradition.
	Why Vecchio Amaro del Capo Caffo is the amaro that welcomes newcomers and delights seasoned drinkers alike. If aggressive fernets feel too medicinal, this Calabrian classic offers a sweeter, more approachable entry point at 35% ABV, emphasizing bright citrus and cooling mint over heavy bitterness. The peppermint, licorice, and Calabrian tangerine create a refreshing profile that echoes peppermint tea and orange marmalade—familiar flavors in an unfamiliar form. Whether you're discovering amaro for the first time or seeking a crowd-pleasing digestif, Vecchio Amaro del Capo delivers complexity without intimidation.
