Gozio Cordials
Italian almond liqueur, macerated sixty days, nothing synthetic added.
The story behind Gozio
Gozio comes out of Gussago, in the Franciacorta zone of Lombardy, where Luigi Gozio set up Distillerie Franciacorta in 1901. The house built its name on grappa first, then turned to amaretto in the 1950s. That order matters. A distillery that already knew how to coax flavor out of fruit stones did not need to fake it later.
The method has not changed much. Whole bitter almonds from four continents, plus peach stones and apricot stones, steep in neutral spirit for at least sixty days. Natural burnt sugar and fruit essences go in. No artificial aromas, no chemical colorants. What you pour is pale copper, unaged, and notably not sticky. We have carried Gozio for years because it tastes like almonds rather than almond extract.
Explore the Gozio range
Gozio makes one amaretto, sold in four sizes. The 750mL is the workhorse bottle; the 1L suits a bar cart that empties fast.

| Gozio Amaretto 750mL | Almond liqueur | 48 proof (24% ABV) | Bitter almond, brown spice, burnt sugar, clean finish |
| Gozio Amaretto 1L | Almond liqueur | 48 proof (24% ABV) | Same liquid, larger pour for entertaining |

Which Gozio is right for you?
Pricing here is straightforward. The Gozio Amaretto 750mL runs $27.99, and the 1L is the same $27.99, which is the quiet bargain of the shelf if you drink it regularly. The 375mL half is $13.99 and the 50mL nip is $1.99. Compare that to the mid to premium liqueur tier, roughly $26 to $36 for a standard bottle, and Gozio sits comfortably inside it. Buy Gozio online and we will have it ready at the counter.
A half ounce in morning coffee gives almond and spice without sugar syrup.
Half bottle covers tiramisu and ricotta fillings without committing to a liter.
Same price as the 750mL, so a party sour or Godfather does not drain the bar.
