Disaronno

With a lineage that dates back to the Renaissance, Disaronno is now the best selling Italian liqueur in the world. In 1525, Bernardino Luini of the Leonardo Da Vinci School of Art was commissioned to paint a fresco of the Madonna in the Santa Maria delle Grazie Church in Saronno, Italy. To portray the Madonna, he chose a beautiful local innkeeper as his muse. As a mark of her gratitude, she prepared a special gift for the artist, a flask full of fragrant, amber liqueur. Known as the 'liqueur di Saronno', a homemade recipe made by the people of Saronno, it wasn't until the 19th century when Domenico Reina discovered the innkeeper's recipe that Disaronno ‘Originale’ was created. To this day, Disaronno is still made in Saronno, Italy, using a recipe that has not changed since 1525. Housed in a unique bottle created in Murano, Venice, Disaronno offers an original taste and an unmistakable aroma that can be enjoyed on the rocks as well as in various mixed drinks.
