The “Witch” Legend
The name “Strega” means “witch” in Italian, a nod to the ancient local legends of witchcraft associated with the town of Benevento, where the distillery has been located since 1860. The local folklore and the medieval practice of keeping the recipe a secret inspired the brand’s name and mystical identity.
The company, Strega Alberti Benevento S.p.A., is still run by the Alberti family, now in its fifth generation.
