Recently, the team – which includes Flavio in addition to Marco Russo, Andrea Dracos, Francesco Bonazzi, Fabio Cavagna, and Carlo Dall’Asta presented a collection of spirits they had developed on their own. They are all grouped together under the name Farmily Spirits (which is a combination of 2 words ‘FARM’ and ‘FAMILY’) and their mere appearance is intriguing. The Amaro Farmily, a “botanical bitter” created not only for cocktails but also to be consumed straight by the consumer, is the newest member of the family.
