Casa Staibano

Casa Staibano spirits company was founded by Cesco Amodio in 2015, inspired by his charismatic Great-Grandfather, Don Vincenzo Staibano, who owned lemon groves on the Amalfi Coast and started making sweet liqueurs and spirits in the 1930s. Positano Gin is based on a recipe created by Don Vincenzo in the 1950s for his wife, Lucia, who was born in Positano and requested a stronger, less sweet concoction.

The Gin Guide Review: Positano Gin is vibrant and evocative, transporting your to the lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast. You're greated with a wonderfully bold aroma of lemons - the distinctive character of Amalfi lemons rather than being sweet or artificially bright. On the palate it is instantly flavoursome and awash with refreshing, oily lemony notes that are reminiscent of Limoncello (but of course without the sweetness or heaviness here) and underpinned with rosemary and juniper. With Tonic Water, the vibrancy and character of the lemons emerges further and makes for a charming and summery G&T that you can certainly imagine sipping on the coast in Positano. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet the Makers

"Don Vincenzo Staibano was a stylish and charismatic playboy from Amalfi, known to many as “Il Gaga”. As well as tending to his vast amount of lemon groves, he was a master at creating liqueurs and spirits which he started producing back in the 1930s. His concoctions were often served for all those who attended his famous, lavish parties in his lemon groves on the Amalfi Coast during the 1950s boom in Italy." - Founder, Cesco Amodio
