A research project with the University of Salerno that highlights the local region's typical products: the Campus Alchemist line is born.
Our liqueurs are a piece of history of the culture and the territory of Campania. We start from the Amalfi Coast and tell the story of its icons: lemons, scents, citrus fruits, produce, faces, flavors, and we draw inspiration from the colors of Vietri ceramics, revisiting their geometries and icons, such as the century-old “ciucciariello,” to tell their stories on our labels
Everything you need to know about Russo Distillers
Russo 1899 is a craft distillery from the Campania region, established in 1899 in Ischia, with over 125 years of tradition in the production of liqueurs, spirits, and cordials. Today, the company is based in San Severino (Salerno) and is led by the third generation of the Russo family: Vincenzo (Sole Director), Guglielmo (Operations Manager), and Valentina (Administration).
We produce over 20 products, including Amalfi limoncello, shrubs, alchermes, grappa, gin, amari, and the innovative Campus Alchemist Line (developed with the University of Salerno). We are ISO 9001 and IFS certified for quality and food safety.
