GIL - Gin d'Italia Calabrese

I ask nothing other than what nature gives me, I am proud of being myself.

My friend Gil will certainly help to make me live a few more years … He knows one more than devil. Medicine and alchemy were his life. He paying attention to the facts and curiosities from around the world. At the Vecchio Magazzino Doganale it was not hard to listen to stories and surreal tales. In that year a wanderer, by chance, told Gil a crazy story that took place in a village not far from us, called Rocca Imperiale. It took only a few words to intrigue him… I understood immediately that he would not lose a moment to explore that dangerous place. I learned, with a touch of envy, that on his return he had found the antidote of the poison of the viper of Rocca Imperiale and not only that, he had discovered, in that rough and rugged territory, Juniper which he defined at “low altitude”. When distilling the berries, combined with other botanicals, he used all his medical and alchemy knowledge, creating an authentic and rural Gin.
I will never forget his words to describe his experience:“The rain falls sublime on my juniper, softens the rugged parts of this territory of Rocca Imperiale, able to give a unique fruit in the world, never found, never explored. I’m jealous of things which are not mine, possessive instinct destroys me, my hands are full of thorns, my feet are aching, fatigue seems to vanish at the thought that those who will taste this Gin will sense something unique”. He was right, and his achievements spoke for themselves.

Gil The Authentic Rural Gin.”I never would have dreamed of making a gin without our main botany.”
An authentic gin that comes from a real discovery, a precious distillate with a rural production method. “Low altitude” juniper and PGI lemons from Rocca Imperiale are the main botanicals. It also stands out for its original color. A real hymn to the territory. Original in mixing, in the great classics, we like the idea of ​​a Fizz or a Collins. Tasted smooth it enhances its Mediterranean character. “Gil is not fashion”.
