Amaro Camatti

The original recipe for Amaro Camatti was created in 1924 in the Ligurian town of Recco, thanks to the Leghorn chemist Umberto Briganti who, together with his brother Cesare, started the first production of the liqueur, christening it with his wife's surname.

Success was immediate, so much so that in 1935 the company producing Amaro Camatti was named 'Supplier to the House of His Royal Highness the Prince of Piedmont'. Things continued to go well after the war; in 1964, Umberto Briganti passed away and left his legacy to his son Cesare.

In the same years, Giovanni Bergamino also started working at the Ballerini factory in Lavagna, engaged in the production of artisanal liqueurs. It was he who acquired the Camatti brand in 1989.

Today, Amaro Camatti is entrusted to the care of Stefano Bergamino and Marco De Marchi, who preserve the secret recipe. The selection of ingredients is of great importance for its production: among the revealed components are almond, cinchona, mint, gentian and bitter orange. Every single herb, flower and aromatic root is infused and macerated individually to respect its characteristics.
