Who we are

Welcome to Our Family!

Every drop of our Amaro Santa Croce is a story of passion and innovation.

We are Carmine Anzovino and Grazia Mazzarella , a couple not only in life but also in the heart of the business that we have expanded together.

Our story begins in 2009 , when Carmine, born in New York and raised with deep roots in Sannio, opened the Pianobar in Santa Croce del Sannio. This place soon became a point of reference for the community, where the Amaro Santa Croce began to flow, conquering the local inhabitants with its authentic taste.

In 2014 , fate intertwined our paths and Grazia, a talented bartender whom Carmine had called several times to collaborate on his evenings, entered Carmine's life. Their union lit a new spark in the evolution of our Amaro. The pair saw the potential of a story that deserved to be shared beyond the walls of the bar.

In 2017 , we made the difficult decision to close Pianobar . Year after year the country was emptying, bringing less and less satisfaction and more worries that had become difficult to sustain. This choice allowed us to invest all our efforts in the Amaro Santa Croce project.

Since that moment, our line of liqueurs has expanded, enriched with new products such as the Crema di Amaro Santa Croce , the pistachio and melon liqueur creams, the distinguished Cardus Gin , and the new Amaro d'Erbe e Menta , each with its own history and personality.

Carmine and Grazia are the beating heart of this adventure: he, with his entrepreneurial vision, and she, with her creativity, have transformed Amaro Santa Croce from a local treasure to a jewel appreciated far beyond the Sannio hills.

Each bottle is a chapter in our history, an invitation to discover a world of flavors that speaks of tradition, family and innovation. We are proud to share with you not just a product, but a piece of our life, a bond that grows stronger sip after sip.
