The distillery

The Vecchio Magazzino Doganale was born with the creation of the amaro Jefferson in 1871, during the historic period of the Belle Epoque. Ancient recipes that are reborn in Ivano Trombino who produces liqueurs in an artisanal way, with vibrant flavors obtained from natural botanicals from Calabria. The story of this distillery and of the Jefferson bitter is very curious and compelling, three Americans Jefferson, Gil and Roger arrive in the province of Cosenza following a shipwreck, take refuge in a shop known as Vecchio Magazzino Doganale. Fascinated by the beauty of the area and its wonderful botanicals, they decided to create a mix of herbs and spices thus giving life to the amaro Jefferson.
