Meet the producer
The story
Manfredi is a historic label of Italian liqueur-making that was relaunched/acquired and incorporated into the production of Amari & Affini, a workshop based in Montalto Uffugo (Cosenza). In 2023 Amari & Affini attracted investments/partnerships from entities such as Vecchio Magazzino Doganale (involved in botanical supplies) and Compagnia dei Caraibi, which signed a participation agreement with Amari & Affini to develop the production project that includes the Manfredi label.
Production philosophy
To rediscover and enhance traditional recipes from Southern Italy, working with territorial raw materials and artisanal preparations (infusions and macerations) to offer classic liqueurs reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
Territory
Calabria / Southern Italy (production linked to Montalto Uffugo, province of Cosenza) and raw materials sourced from southern areas (bergamot, lemon, Calabrian licorice).
Production method
Line based on maceration/infusion of peels and botanicals; for citrus fruits cold maceration of the peels is noted. Aromatic extraction and filtration are part of the process described in the product sheets.
Distillation
The range is described as obtained mainly through infusion and maceration of botanicals (in some cases cold maceration of citrus peels) followed by filtration; not all references require copper-pot distillation.
