Artigiano
Liquorificio Guiducci was established in 1921 in the province of Pisa by Russo, who began in a small workshop located in the town centre. There, the first liqueurs were created using a small distillation still. As the family grew, sons Lando, Bruno, and Sergio were born. After overcoming the challenges of World War II, the small workshop transformed into a full-fledged factory, with the sons providing crucial support to their father, Russo. During the economic boom, the liquor distillery significantly expanded its business and spirit specialities. Since the late 1990s, the company has focused on selling to large retailers, showcasing remarkable operational and commercial flexibility. Today, the company stands as a historic entity with over a century of existence and three generations of family tradition. The third generation, represented by cousins Michele and Marco, aims to share with customers the value of a strong family enterprise rooted in artisanal products and Tuscan identity.
