Vaccari has been making sambuca since 1946, a period when Italy was truly reinventing itself after the destruction of war.

About Vaccari

Vaccari Sambuca is a classic Italian sambuca with a full aniseed flavour and a clean, sweet finish. For the newcomer it's an accessible, traditional entry into the sambuca category; for the connoisseur, the charm lies in Vaccari having produced sambuca since postwar Italy, representing one of the more established and historic producers in the category, without having shifted its style significantly along the way.

History & Background

Vaccari began producing sambuca in 1946 in northern Italy, at a time when the country was in the midst of rebuilding after the Second World War. The house held onto the classic distillation method with star anise as the core ingredient, at a point when many other Italian spirits were undergoing major changes. Vaccari is today regarded as one of the older, established names in the sambuca category, known for a consistent style across the decades.

Production & Style

The sambuca is distilled from star anise following a classic family recipe, where the sweetness comes from the anise oil itself rather than added sugar alone.

Signature Style

Anise-Like, Sweet, Classic
Expect a classic anise sweetness with a touch of fennel and a clean, powerful finish.

Did You Know?

The Vaccari family is best known outside Italy for its balsamic vinegar, which makes the sambuca a slightly overlooked side product from a house that is first and foremost a master of slow, patient processing.
