Caffè Vergnano 1882 coffee

Caffè Vergnano is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious coffee roasters, with a history dating back to 1882 when Domenico Vergnano opened a small apothecary in Chieri, near Turin. The brand has built its reputation on the traditional slow-roasting method, which ensures a balanced and aromatic coffee quality.

The brand's manufacturing remains deeply rooted in Italy, with its main production facility located in Santena. This local production is key to maintaining the authentic Italian espresso profile that has made the brand famous globally.

In a significant strategic move in 2021, the Coca-Cola HBC (Hellenic Bottling Company) acquired a 30% minority stake in Caffè Vergnano to distribute the brand exclusively in its territories. However, the original Vergnano family continues to manage the company and oversee the brand's heritage, with Coca-Cola HBC serving as the primary commercial vehicle for its international expansion. This partnership combines centuries of Italian roasting craft with a world-class distribution network.
