The warm, sophisticated taste of DISARONNO has a lineage dating back to one of the most romantic and creative periods in Italian history – the Renaissance. In 1525, the artist Bernardino Luini, a brilliant pupil of Leonardo da Vinci – was commissioned to paint a fresco of the Madonna of the Miracles in Saronno (Madonna dei Miracoli in Saronno, where the Fresco is still displayed today).
The velvety smooth taste and unmistakable aroma gave DISARONNO the reputation of the world’s favourite Italian liqueur, which is stated proudly on its label.
In the 1970s, a master glassmaker from Murano, Venice, created a work of art. The hand-crafted, unique “square bottle” was made from softly sparkling glass, and formed the now familiar design, recognised all over the world.
