Commercial descriptions and technical materials link the project to a family distillation tradition and a strongly Mediterranean inspiration, with references to the scents of Capri and the citrus fruits of Southern Italy. The producer Targa Ilva Zita is recorded with an operational headquarters in Stanghella (PD) in regional registers and company documents.
