There is a direct thread linking the generous land of Niscemi, in the heart of Sicily, to the skyscrapers of New York. It is a thread made of passion, tradition and the courage to dream big. This week, that thread took us to Brooklyn, to the international stage of the Bar Convent 2025 the most prestigious event for the spirits and beverage world.
Paesano Authentic is proud to be among the 12 Italian excellences selected by ICE (Agency for the promotion abroad and the internationalisation of Italian companies) to represent the best of Made in Italy liquor. A participation that is not just a showcase, but the crowning of a journey and the start of a new, exciting adventure.
A dream that crosses the ocean
Participating in Bar Convent Brooklyn is an achievement that has the flavour of the story we want to tell. As emphasised by our founder, Giuseppe Cinquerrui, who was present at the opening event in Manhattan:''Being in New York, for us who come from Niscemi, a small village in south-eastern Sicily, is a huge step. When I started, there was a lot of hesitation. I believed in it and we got here'"..
These words encapsulate the soul of Paesano Authentic: the strength of our roots faith in quality craftsmanship and the vision to take the unique flavours of our land beyond all borders . It is a story of family, of rediscovered bonds and a commitment that is renewed with every bottle, prepared for this event ''in a special way''. to offer an unforgettable experience.
