Santo Spirito Aroma d'Abruzzo

Santo Spirito Aroma D'Abruzzo is an artisan company by vocation, Abruzzo by birth, natural by quality, traditional by recipes and distinguished by excellence in taste. The choice of the brand, the Hermitage of Santo Spirito in Maiella in Abruzzo, is to express the essence of our land: simple, welcoming and full of spirituality. The Santo Spirito company takes its name from the hermitage of Santo Spirito and is certainly the largest and most famous of all the Maiella, and even if it has undergone several transformations over the centuries, it still maintains the charm due to the wonderful position in the valley of the same name. There is no precise date of its origin, even if it is supposed to be prior to the year 1000. The first presence known to us is that of Desiderio, the future Pope Victor III, who lived there in 1053. San Pietro Celestino arrived there in 1246, and after having built a church dedicated to the Holy Spirit, he remained there, between various events, until 1293 (about 47 years). Between 1310 and 1317 there was the abbot the blessed Roberto da Salle. Petrarch named this hermitage in "De vita solitaria" defining it as "one of the most suitable places for spiritual asceticism". In the following two centuries the monastery was abandoned and only in 1586, with the monk Pietro Cantucci of Manfredonia, the religious life regained vigor; he built the Scala Santa which leads to the oratory of Santa Maria Maddalena. In the last years of the 17th century, Prince Caracciolo di San Buono added a three-storey building, the guesthouse.

Today Santo Spirito presents the church, the sacristy and a housing wing distributed over two floors. Through a long corridor that rests on a rocky wall you reach the recently restored guesthouse (or Casa del Principe). From the guesthouse go up the Scala Santa, entirely dug into the mountain, until you reach the oratory of La Maddalena and two large rocky balconies. Today some of the recipes handed down by the Friars are produced in the Santo Spirito cellars.

Our recipes follow an illustrious example: that of the hermitage of Santo Spirito, and their method of processing medicinal herbs dating back to 1600; following these recipes, developed and consolidated over time, our company is able to guarantee a natural extraction of the characteristics for each of the raw materials. It is a longer type of processing than other traditional techniques, but which pays off with a more intense taste and fragrance: it is the most important secret for a liqueur with a recognizable and unique flavor. The same attention is paid to the choice of raw materials, for which quality, freshness and proximity are privileged; for each liqueur, the best products available are carefully selected: Sorrento IGP lemons, wild gentian roots hand-picked over 1600 meters, certified DOC wines, eco Bronte pistachios, pure licorice and more. As a company with an artisanal, natural and traditional vocation, it is important for us to also follow every step of the preparation process of each bottle, which is completely hand-dressed without the aid of lines, guaranteeing a result with attention to the smallest details.

We are a family business, in which the passion for the preparation of liqueurs is handed down from generation to generation: it is our greatest strength, that of combining the experience of the father and the innovation of the children. This way of producing liqueurs is not simply a job, it is the result of the combination of attention to tradition, search for quality, the fruit of experience and, last but not least, a lot of passion.
