Who was
Carlo Gamondi
Way back in 1890, an enterprising twenty-two-year-old, Carlo Gamondi, began his entrepreneurial adventure by opening his own business in Acqui, in the province of Alessandria, and launching Amaro Gamondi with great success.
Amaro quickly gained recognition thanks to its quality, recognized by the numerous awards it received in Italy and abroad, and its highly impactful and ahead-of-its-time advertising. Carlo, a great expert in infusions and a keen observer of popular tastes, over time launched other products alongside Amaro, such as Vermouth, Aperitivo, and others.
After more than 130 years, Carlo Gamondi's innovative spirit is still with us and inspires our thinking and the way we work every day.
1890
At just twenty-two years old, Carlo Gamondi started his own business and began selling Amaro Gamondi.
1890-1907
Amaro Gamondi has won medals and awards in various Italian and European competitions, including those in Milan, Rome, Genoa, Paris, and London.
1908-1927
Amaro Gamondi became very popular in the city and its surroundings, also thanks to advertising that was innovative for the time.
1928-2008
The Gamondi company was acquired by the Barberis family, also originally from Acqui. Since the 1950s, the company has grown and launched new products, such as the Aperitivo and Bitter, which are still part of the Gamondi range today.
2009
Gamondi is acquired by Casa Toso, a renowned winery based in the Langhe region since 1910. The original recipes are revisited and adapted to current tastes and trends. Gamondi begins to expand internationally.

The iconic hexagonal bottle is introduced, inspired by the Bollente, the historic fountain of Acqui Terme and symbol of the city.

The new Elderflower Aperitif is born, designed to cover the key segment of Hugo and white aperitifs.

The art of respecting the
that surrounds us
nature
A good aperitif is a matter of balance. And so is living on this planet.
That's why we don't just create masterpieces in bottles: we work every day to do it sustainably and responsibly.
We have three photovoltaic systems that cover 40% of our energy needs.
For over 10 years, we've been eliminating fossil fuels. We heat our production processes with natural biomass.
Thanks to our purification and recovery system, we reuse water for washing and refrigeration.
Our warehouse is automated: robotic shuttles help us reduce the number of wheeled vehicles, optimize space, and save energy.
In our in-house laboratory, we analyze every production stage. This way, we can guarantee you quality raw materials.
Each Gamondi label showcases a nuanced version of the art of aperitifs. Find the perfect inspiration for your cocktails.
