Since the beginning of the 18th century, in France, the Bouton family has dedicated itself to the noble art of distillation, enriching with formulas and secrets a precious notebook destined to be handed down from generation to generation: the Bouton Recipe Book.

The success of their spirits was such that they earned the title of suppliers to the imperial house of Napoleon I. With the fall of the regime, the most talented of the heirs, Jean Bouton, decides to undertake a long journey to Italy, bringing with him the famous family recipe book.

More than a hundred years later, in 1939, the company chose to enhance the Italian personality of the product and renamed it Vecchia Romagna Buton Brandy.

In 1999 the company was acquired by Gruppo Montenegro which, through the commercial success and the renovation of the historic production plant, gave new life to the business, making it a flagship of the Italian liquor industry.
