Lucano

The business was founded in 1894 in Pisticci by Cavalier Pasquale Vena, who developed the Amaro Lucano recipe in the backroom of his biscuit factory. Production expanded in the following decades (relocation to Pisticci Scalo in 1965) and the Vena family has retained ownership and management, passing the recipe down through generations. Over the 20th century the brand grew with lines such as Sambuca, Limoncello and Caffè; in 2021 Lucano received recognition as a 'Historical Trademark of National Interest'. Today the company operates with certified quality standards and has a position both on the Italian market and international markets.

Family tradition, protection of the original recipe and attention to quality are central to Lucano's philosophy; at the same time the brand declares an approach that balances historical roots with brand renewal to reach new audiences.
