ROME, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Flor de Caña, the sustainably crafted premium rum from Nicaragua, is pleased to announce a new distribution partnership in Italy with Fratelli Branca Distillerie, effective January 1st, 2026. This new chapter represents a strategic step in strengthening Flor de Caña's presence in one of Europe's most important spirits markets, partnering with a family-owned company with more than 180 years of history and a portfolio of iconic premium brands deeply rooted in Italian culture.
