Distillery Information

The story of the Caffo family dates back to the end of the 19th century when Master Distiller Giuseppe Caffo, born in 1865, began distilling grape pomace. In 1915 he realized his personal dream by taking over an old distillery at Santa Venerina on the slopes of Mount Etna, with the aim of putting his production philosophy into practice and passing on to his children the knowledge he had acquired. Initially production was based principally on spirits, alcohol and derivatives of wine production but, gradually, the Caffo distillery began producing - and introducing the market to – liqueurs made from ancient recipes. The still very young Sebastiano Caffo (born in 1901) began learning all the secrets of this ancient and noble profession from his father, soon becoming a “Master Distiller” himself, and he demonstrated that he could manage, apart from the family’s establishment, other distilleries as well, including that of San Paolo in Noto and that of Castiglione di Sicilia. In the meantime the other “Caffo Brothers”, the sons of the founder, had gained experience in the sector, having returned after twenty years in Australia with the intention of building up the family business. The “Fratelli Caffo - Distillerie di alcol, brandy e tartarici” company thus came into being. Its first entrepreneurial decision was to purchase a sizeable facility at Limbadi in Calabria, a place that was famous for the production of excellent red wine.
