A Time-Honored Distillation Method
This gin is born in a craft distillery housed within a 19th-century building in the heart of Tuscany. Here, tradition and innovation converge thanks to a solid copper Bennet still fitted with modern technologies. The result is a pure and refined distillate that enhances each botanical with precision and depth.
Botanicals: A Journey Through Italian Excellence
Vespucci Gin is the result of a meticulous selection of botanicals grown in Italian regions along the coast, where the Mediterranean climate imparts them with distinctive character:
- Juniper from the Tuscan hills – balsamic and resinous
- Citrus fruits from the Italian coastline:
• Lemon – bright and radiant
• Citron – bold and persistent
• Bergamot – complex and aromatic
• Chinotto – elegant and slightly sweet - Myrtle from Mediterranean scrub – warm and spicy
- Azarole (Mediterranean medlar) – sweet, fruity, with herbal undertones
- Rose petals – floral with notes of peach, honey, and almond
This unique blend creates a gin of great complexity and balance, where the brightness of citrus merges with the depth of berries, the intensity of Mediterranean herbs, and the refined aroma of rose.
A Bold and Refined Taste
On the palate, Vespucci Gin opens with a lively citrus burst—lemon, citron, bergamot, and chinotto—followed by a robust body anchored by Tuscan juniper. Myrtle and azarole bring softness and character, while rose petals add a velvety elegance. The finish is long, harmonious, and unmistakable.
Crafted for Connoisseurs
With its Navy Strength alcohol content, Vespucci Gin is ideal for a structured, aromatic Gin & Tonic—best served with a neutral tonic and a twist of lemon. It also shines in a bold and elegant Martini, where vermouth reveals its most sophisticated nuances.
