Ballor celebrates 170 years of Italian liqueur history and expertise

A legacy rich in charm and prestige that lives on today thanks to the vision and dedication of Bonollo 1908 of Padua.

With over a century of experience and four generations dedicated to the art of distillation, the Bonollo family—known internationally for revolutionizing the industry with Grappa OF Amarone Barrique and for its ongoing research through the Sistema Unico Bonollo—has succeeded in breaking the mold. Their constant pursuit of innovation and unwavering passion for excellence have driven the Bonollo family to acquire and enhance this historic brand, aiming to integrate its centuries-old legacy into their own expertise and restore its masterpieces to their former glory.

Ballor's passion and history are relived and reinterpreted by the Bonollo team to offer new experiences based on the solidity of centuries-old know-how , which still makes the difference today.

The brand's rebirth has materialized in three liqueur masterpieces created by the master blenders of Casa Bonollo: Ballor Vermouth , Ballor Gin and Ballor 100.

To celebrate the anniversary, Mauro Suman, Ballor brand ambassador, created the exclusive “ Ballor170 ” cocktail: Ballor Vermouth, Ballor Gin, Orange and Basil Soda, Ballor 100 Velvet for a drink to be served in a low tumbler.

To celebrate its 170th anniversary, Ballor is hosting a special event from October 13th to 18th in Milan at Rumore , the exclusive cocktail bar and elegant lounge in the heart of the city. This refined venue, a hub for Milanese nightlife and top-notch mixology, is the ideal setting for Casa Ballor's timeless style. Throughout the week, you can enjoy a Ballor cocktail while admiring some of the historic pieces on display inside the venue, precious relics of the past, carefully restored and preserved by the Bonollo family to pay homage to the history and art of Italian liqueur making.
