Producer history Jannamico

The Jannamico family's activity in the liqueur trade began in 1888 with Cav. Francesco Jannamico, who developed the traditional Abruzzese Punch. The company moved to Lanciano (CH) after World War II and, across generations, has expanded its range. In 2010 a modern facility was inaugurated in Villa Martelli (Lanciano). The company is registered in the national register of historic trademarks.
