The story
Roger was born within the productions of Vecchio Magazzino Doganale, a Calabrian project led by Ivano Trombino aimed at recovering rural recipes and practices for liqueurs and amari. Official company materials present Roger as part of the neighbourhood liqueur range and describe it as a strongly personality-driven amaro, inspired by local tradition and regional botanicals.
Production philosophy
The philosophy behind Roger follows the Vecchio Magazzino Doganale approach: valorisation of native botanicals, artisanal production and respect for the territory's seasonality. The aim is to offer authentic spirits, often unfiltered and made with local raw materials.
Territory
Italy, Calabria (production and selection of citrus and botanicals typical of the Montalto Uffugo area and neighbouring zones).
Production method
Prepared by infusing local botanicals and citrus; the product is generally unfiltered and not aged. Official technical sheets indicate infused ingredients and an artisanal assembling/blending process.
