The story
The origins lie in the activity of the Buton family: Jean Buton settled in Emilia‑Romagna in 1820 and in 1830 founded the first Italian steam distillery associated with the brand. In 1939 the product was relaunched under the name Vecchia Romagna with the recognizable image of Bacchus and the triangular bottle. In subsequent years production and aging were centralized in large facilities (the so-called "Città del Brandy") and in 1999 the brand was acquired by the Gruppo Montenegro. In 2020 the 200-year history of the Buton/Vecchia Romagna tradition was celebrated.
Distillation
