Follow your passion, and sucess will follow you
The Margarucci family history is synonymous of love for territory, passion and quality of ingredients.
Five brothers, Remo, Giancarlo, Amedeo, Andrea and Maurizio have created the Distillery MARGA, owner of the liquor brand Antico Cilento®.
Looking to the future is an entrenched attitude in the Margarucci family. Tradition and innovation blend in creating new liquors to discover, letting them conquer from new bitter or pleasantly sweet aromas.
Don Peppino came from Amalfi every year. One day he brought us the limoncello, we produced it with the lemons of the Cilento and from that moment we no longer stopped!
We decided to produce with large scale what we just reserved for relatives and friends: liqueurs!
The Margarucci family has a commitment: to pursue their passion in the distillation of high quality liqueurs. Our liqueurs are all produced in a traditional way, you’ll notice at the first sip!
Our distillery is located in the center of a valley between two villages of the Cilento coast, Agnone and San Mauro Cilento, in an area where the mild climate, healthy and sunny is perfect for plantations of lemons, figs and for the spontaneous growth of herbs necessary for the production of liqueurs.
Ancient land on the south of the Amalfi Coast, Cilento covers an indented coastline lapped by the clearest sea of Italy and from which rise flourish Mediterranean vegetation slopes. Cilento National Park is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for preserving and generating natural values through sustainable management and conservation of biological diversity. Last but not least, the Cilento is home of the Mediterranean diet. Ancel Keys, a famous American nutritionist, in the 50s he was struck by the eating habits of the population of Cilento, and the low incidence of cardiovascular disease. His studies are today the first document of the famous Mediterranean Diet.
