Campari

The Bold Heart of Italian Aperitivo Culture.
Campari is more than a spirit — it’s a symbol of Italian style, creativity, and timeless sophistication. Created in 1860 in Novara by Gaspare Campari, this legendary aperitif has become synonymous with innovation and elegance in bars and homes around the world. Its unmistakable ruby-red hue invites curiosity, while its complex blend of herbs, aromatic plants, and carefully selected fruit extracts delivers a distinctive bittersweet taste that has captivated generations.

On the nose, Campari is vibrant and intriguing, with notes of bitter orange, aromatic herbs, and subtle spices. The palate is perfectly balanced, combining a refreshing bitterness with sweet undertones and a lingering, pleasantly complex finish. Whether sipped neat, over ice, or as the star of classic cocktails like the Negroni or Americano, Campari embodies a heritage of craftsmanship and contemporary flair.

For Irish drinkers, Campari offers an authentic taste of Italy’s aperitivo culture. It’s a versatile companion for pre-dinner moments, celebrations, or when simply seeking a sophisticated, iconic drink to elevate any occasion. Campari doesn’t just mix — it inspires creativity in every glass.
