“Professionalism, respect, and reliability.” That’s how Lorenzo Di Cola, Head of Brand at Altamura Distilleries Vodka, describes Antonio Ferrara, Bar Manager at Aman Venice. The two first met in 2022, during a series of events conceived by Di Cola to build stronger ties among Venice’s bartending community. Ferrara, then stepping out of Aman Bar for his first guest shift, accepted the invitation — and a lasting friendship began. When Di Cola joined Altamura Distilleries Vodka, the two found in the Apulian brand a shared language built on quality, discipline, and authenticity.
Antonio Ferrara and the Shared Vision With Altamura Distilleries Vodka
“Founded to celebrate the character of Altamura wheat, Frank Grillo’s company has become one of the industry’s most dynamic players,” says Ferrara. “In less than two years, it has reached nearly forty countries, from Europe to North America, and is now expanding into Asia, where the Aman Group concentrates much of its portfolio.” That growth, he notes, is sustained by relationships grounded in mutual respect and an ethical approach to business. “Altamura Distilleries Vodka resonates deeply with me. We both engage with the world through a vision of luxury that prioritizes quality, substance, and people. I do it through hospitality; Altamura through distillation,” Ferrara concludes. A shared rigor that translates into choices, gestures, and success.
