ABOUT DISARONNO
The legend of DISARONNO dates back to 1525, when Renaissance artist and Leonardo da Vinci pupil Bernardino Luini was commissioned to paint a fresco in Saronno. To portray the Madonna of Miracles, he chose as his muse a beautiful local innkeeper. She repaid the honor by giving the artist a flask of a fragrant and delicate amber liquor known as amaretto. With its distinctive stopper and iconic square faceted Murano glass bottle, DISARONNO is now the world’s favorite Italian liquor, regarded as an icon of style and sophistication and appreciated as a ‘favorite mixer’ for contemporary social settings–DISARONNO Sour, anyone?–as well as neat or on the rocks.
