170 years of history. 170 years of traditions, of recipes handed down, of typical and local products, of alcoholic infusions and syrups that have arrived on the Italians’ tables from the centre of Sassuolo.
The historic Roteglia distillery was founded in 1848 in the centre of Emilia, by a family of Swiss origins, skilled in the trade of spices, in the preparation of spirits and in the production of handcrafted liqueurs. From its origins to today, the distillery has gone through history to reach us.
In 2018, our lucky meeting: on the streets of Sassuolo there was a rumour that the Roteglia family wanted to sell the distillery, a small production company hidden within the town, among enormous buildings and streets full of trendy shops.
So why not take on this adventure and start dealing with the production and sale of handcrafted liqueurs? Thus Roteglia 1848 arose, which today carries on the business under the protective wing of our mentor, Lorenzo Roteglia, who from the height of his experience as a liqueurist passed us the original recipes and dispenses advice on working as a craftsman.
Today in our spirits factory we dedicate care and attention to the selection of ingredients and we invest time in the individual production steps. Without chasing fashions, we continue to produce distillates and liqueurs from the past, picking up old recipes from the more than 100 infusions that were produced. We believe in family traditions and routines and we try to bring back ancient products that are still part of our cultural fabric. Without history we would not be here!
