A tribute to buffalo milk from Campania and the liqueur tradition

From the Campania region comes a unique and inimitable liqueur, Guappa, the creamy liqueur that combines precious buffalo milk from Campania with 3-year-old brandy, the fruit of the centuries-old experience and passion for tradition of the Antica Distilleria Petrone. 

Guappa is a unique liqueur, the biological richness of buffalo milk gives a creamy and velvety flavor to the palate, enveloping it in an incredible sensory mix.


A name that tells a story

Guappa , has an assonance with the Spanish term "Wapa" or "Guapa", meaning "beautiful", was the name of a buffalo renowned for the large quantity of milk it produced.

A tribute to the origins and vocation of the Campania region, where buffalo breeding represents a precious tradition; producing a liqueur based on buffalo milk means passing on the culture of an entire territory and the attention to the very high quality of milk. Guappa represents the seal that distils and unites territory, tradition and passion.


Fine ingredients and artisanal processing

Our liqueur is born from a careful selection of the highest quality ingredients, the buffalo milk from Campania, coming only from rigorously selected farms, is expertly processed and combined with a fine brandy aged for 3 years.


A unique sensory experience

Guappa has an intense hazelnut color and a dense appearance. On the nose, it smells of cream, hazelnut, caramel and buffalo milk, in a harmonious combination that anticipates an enveloping and soft taste.

On the palate, the sweetness of the milk blends perfectly with the alcoholic note of the aged brandy, creating a velvety and persistent sensory experience.

Buffalo milk, rich in consistency and creaminess, gives Guappa a pleasant note that envelops the palate, caressing it gently.

The brandy, aged three years, opens to the sight with an intense amber color, like the Campania sun. An olfactory melody of aromas unfolds, in a crescendo of complexity that relaxes the senses.

Fruity notes of raisins, prunes and apricots intertwine with hints of vanilla and caramel, like a dance of sweet flavors, spices, such as cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, add a hint of spiciness, while the noble wood of cedar and oak gives a touch of refinement. The manufacturing process gives life to a liqueur that can also be enjoyed for meditation.


A versatile liqueur for every occasion

Guappa is a perfect liqueur to end a meal in style, to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

Excellent for sweetening coffee or for garnishing ice cream and desserts, it reveals a pleasant sweet and delicately alcoholic aftertaste. For a touch of originality, Guappa can be served hot with cinnamon, cloves and an orange peel.
