In the year 1894, amidst the picturesque setting of Pisticci, Italy, Pasquale Vena’s dedication to herbology and innovation led him to create Amaro Lucano. Despite wartime challenges and setbacks, Pasquale, along with his son Leonardo and nephew Giuseppe, persevered, founding a small-scale operation before expanding production in the 1960s. Today, guided by generations of tradition, the Vena family proudly maintains the secret recipe of Amaro Lucano, ensuring its enduring legacy since 1894.

Lucano Anniversario Amaro is a prestigious version of the Classic Amaro Lucano which celebrates the 120th anniversary of the founding of the company. Developed from an old recipe of Cavalier Pasquale Vena, Anniversario Amaro is the result of a careful blend of more than 30 herbs. The higher alcohol content enhances the bitter aromatic notes of absinthe, holy thistle and gentian.
