Tradition in the production of spirits and liqueurs
For five generations, the Inga family has been committed to carrying on a strong tradition of producing high-quality spirits and liqueurs. The first herbal elixirs are elaborated as early as 1832.
That is the date of origin, the time when the ancestors of today’s company began experimenting with the brews that are still part of the company today. An ancient and peasant knowledge that reaches to the gates of the twentieth century – a period when Gaetano Inga ‘s work in the production of brandy and Marsala wine becomes known in the province of Noto.
The production of artisanal liquors in Piedmont
In 1920, Gaetano himself decided to move to Piedmont, to Serravalle Scrivia. There, he took over the Gambarotta factories and started what can be considered the first family distillery.
The impending world conflict affects, inevitably, the success of the enterprise, which, only at the end of the war, can resume in its work. It is Gaetano’s grandson, Elio, who has taken the reins of the business.
The turning point came in 1966 when the production of a delicate and fragrant grappa (very different from traditional eaux-de-vie ) established itself on the market for the decade to come.
The present and future of the company Inga
Libarna grappa, therefore, finds appreciation outside and inside national borders. In 1983, the Inga family sold the brand and began a new era of experimentation. Today, Lorenzo and Federico Inga are actively involved in researching and launching new products. Production includes brandies and eaux-de-vie from different pomaces, sweet liqueurs and gin.
The Lorenzo Inga Selection, My Grappa, Villa Serravalle, and Gran Milano brands are growing over the years and being enriched with new products.
If Antico Amaro di Serravalle still retains all the charm of the Inga family tradition, Maestro Café and Panarea Gin are fresh recipes that pay homage to Mediterranean style and aromas to the point of gaining national and international acclaim and recognition.
