Why we pour Del Capo at −20 °C

There's a rule in Calabria nobody argues with: Vecchio Amaro del Capo is at its best poured freezer-cold, from −20 °C. It isn't a marketing gimmick. That's the temperature at which the 29 herbs, spices and citrus fruits pull together into the dense Mediterranean character that made Del Capo the number one amaro in Italy, with a market share above 38%.

The category isn't slowing down either: bitters grew 42% in value worldwide between 2020 and 2024. Guests increasingly look for authentic, herbal drinks with a story behind them, and after the aperitivo wave, the digestivo is the next one coming.

In practice it means this: one slot in the freezer, one ice-cold bottle, and a shot after dinner. Capo that moment. We're happy to show your team in person.
