Distillerie Moccia

Distillerie Moccia, founded in Ferrara in the 1940s, is best known for Zabov—the post-war zabaglione liqueur Luigi Moccia reformulated with brandy and showcased in a clear bottle—now an Italian icon under the Ori family, who have run the house since 1980. Their range extends from the flagship Zabov (including coffee-inflected versions) to Ventidue (XXII), an elderflower liqueur finalized on the 22nd of 50 trial recipes, while the brand remains closely linked to the Alpine "Bombardino" ritual that blends hot egg liqueur with brandy or rum. In the U.S., The Italian Spirits Company highlights both Zabov and the Bombardino, reflecting Moccia's blend of tradition, approachability, and unique design.
