Traditional Coffee: These are the most widespread coffees in the various distribution channels in France, both private and professional.
Superior Coffee: These are coffees that contain no more than 20% Robusta, whose country of origin we know and/or which have a label (organic farming, fair trade, etc.)
The higher the rating, the more surprising your coffee tasting experience will be.
Harmonious Blend of Arabica and Robusta Beans in a Convenient 500g Pack
Caffè Vergnano’s Antica Bottega is a distinguished whole-bean coffee offered in a convenient 500 g pack. This blend combines carefully selected Arabica and Robusta beans from Central and South America and the Dominican Republic, delivering a perfectly balanced flavour. Expertly roasted to a deep, dark level in Turin, Italy, the beans undergo a slow roasting process of 18 to 22 minutes to preserve their unique characteristics. The result is a rich, velvety crema and a complex taste profile featuring gentle acidity, a full-bodied texture, and a lingering chocolate finish, ideal for both espresso and milk-based beverages.
A Proud Heritage of Italian Coffee Craftsmanship
With a heritage spanning four generations and 135 years, this Italian brand has become a benchmark in the coffee world. Originating from a small grocery shop, it has perfected every stage of the coffee journey, from roasting to retail. A pivotal moment came with the acquisition of a Kenyan plantation, underscoring its dedication to carefully selecting premium origins. While many opt for rapid roasting methods, Caffè Vergnano embraces slow roasting to fully reveal the unique character of each bean. Their range—including coffee beans, ground coffee, and capsules—offers quality certifications that ensure both exceptional flavour and consumer confidence.
Caffè Vergnano is a company that boasts a long and prestigious history.
The company was founded way back in 1882 by Domenico Vergnano, grandfather of the current owners, who set up business in the small medieval town of Chieri, at the foot of Turin Hill.
The true vocation of the Vergnano family became apparent very quickly: in just a few years they mastered the art of coffee-roasting and selling.
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
