At our first Les Caves de Pyrene tasting we went to in
Florence, in 2012 I believe, we tasted these amazing artisan liquors from La
Dispensa Di Amerigo.

La Dispensa di Amerigo

We liked them so much that we decided to get them for
Vinosofia. They have been selling quite
well and their labels are just great. I
personally like them because they aren’t too sweet or syrupy like most
digestive drinks. They have distinct
flavors and are smooth & well balanced.
They genuinely taste homemade and I like that.
The Italians who come into Vinosofia from the Emilia Romagna
area say “oh you have La Dipensa Di Amerigo Liquors, have you been there? It’s such a great Trattoria and their
products are wonderful.”

Main dinning room of the Trattoria, now that's Italian!

As with all our products and wines we make a big effort to
go see the places where they come from and meet the owners. I want to know the people and the places so I
can have my own reference point. I also
like to do my own little inspection for cleanliness and the reality of the
situation. Need I say more? Didn’t think
so. Anyway…
This winter we had the chance to go to La Dispensa di
Amerigo. Unfortunately being off-season,
the Trattoria was closed for lunch and the laboratory was closed too for the
season.
The actual Dispensa was open
though and we got to see this very cool retro food shop.

I thought it was really really cool, like
going back in time.

upstairs there was a quite different dinning room
with beautiful linens

the main Piazza of Savigno, in the country near Bologna

We got a bunch of
their products to try for future additions to the Vinosofia Alimentari di Lusso
section of our shop.

just like old times
