Amaro Gamondi
Amaro Gamondi
Every Piedmontese family seems to have an amaro origin story, and Gamondi's starts in 1890, when Carlo Gamondi began macerating his own blend of herbs and roots in the spa town of Acqui Terme. The recipe never really left circulation — the Toso family picked it back up decades later and kept his method intact. It's the kind of amaro that's quietly collected medals along the way, the bottle a Piedmontese host reaches for once the last course is cleared.

Gamondi
Carlo Gamondi was born in Acqui in 1868, on Strada della Maggiora. At just 22, he opened a small grocery store, setting the stage for his creation of the world-renowned Amaro Gamondi. By 1912, after earning various accolades, he transformed the store into a tasting corner, inviting locals to experience his unique amaro. Though his son Giuseppe Carlo promoted the brand, his untimely death at 40 left no heirs. The Barberis family then took over, expanding production and introducing new recipes based on Carlo’s original creations. Today, under Gianfranco Toso and Valter Porro, Amaro Gamondi, along with its bitter and aperitivo, continues to honor tradition with passion and craftsmanship
