Κάλος - Κάιρος
Our name KALIRO derives from the Ancient Greek words for beautiful (kalos) and moments (kairos), a constant reminder of our mission towards helping create great memories together with the people that we love
We craft products that just happen to come inside a bottle, but our promise to you goes well beyond a beautiful design and an amazing drink.
Because we only live once, but if we do it properly once is enough.
FULL-ON SPIRIT
We hate to play it safe and we love to have fun.
Life is an adventure best enjoyed when we take some risk, and when you know that the best are on your side, those risks no longer seem scary anymore.
“We are a small young company that is lucky to count with the collaboration of some of the best experts in the industry. A team of great people and partners that have amazing stories of their own, and with whom we share a passion and a vision”
ALEX OUZIEL | Founder
Alcohol is in Alex’s blood, unfortunately this has nothing to do with him coming from a long dynasty of spirit merchants.
Over the years his Economics degree did little to advance his career, but luckily he spent enough time at the college bar to leave University fully prepared for a life in the corporate debauchery of spirits and tobacco. Having found redemption for his sins in ultra-marathon running, he is now determined to apply his newly acquired pain management skills to the business world.
Alex founded KALIRO in 2019 with a view to changing the world. Now that the Global pandemic has taken care of that, he is busy finding a new goal.
brands
At KALIRO we like to build brands that constantly push the conventional stance.
We look for new approaches to categories that have lost their glitz, respecting the tradition and know-how from the generations that have come before us, but not letting it keep us anchored in the past.
Heritage is an attitude, not a place in time!
Inspired on Dante’s Divine Comedy, 9diDANTE is a Vermouth di Torino Superiore that is destined to change our relationship with vermouth. Putting back the emphasis on wine quality, 9diDANTE has developed a new way of crafting vermouths, benefiting from Piemonte’s two-hundred year old traditions to deliver a fresh and modern taste in a bold packaging.
This internationally aclaimed Vermouth di Torino Superiore became the first brand in our portfolio in 2019. Inspired in Dante’s Divine Comedy, 9diDANTE puts the focus back into wine quality in vermouth making, providing for a bold and refreshing consumer journey.
You may not remember the last time you tried vermouth or may not even be too share about what it is. Word of D9NTE takes us on a spirited journey through the history, the secrets and the folklore around on of the most trending drink categories today.
Vermouth helped create cocktail culture, and many of the classics that you enjoy could not exist without it. Try your hand at mixing a Negroni, a Manhattan or a Spritz and learn how to make the most out of that bottle that you have just cracked open.
