Bottega Bacur Dry Gin is an Italian gin that reflects the distillery’s broader background in wine and grappa production, with a focus on botanical selection and regional identity. Produced by Bottega in Veneto, it is distilled using a base spirit derived from local ingredients and infused with a blend of botanicals sourced both from Italy and abroad. Juniper remains central, supported by citrus and aromatic herbs that align with Mediterranean flavours.
The name "Bacur" comes from a Venetian term associated with herbs and aromatic plants, highlighting the importance of botanicals in the production. The process involves careful distillation to integrate these ingredients rather than relying on post-distillation flavouring, maintaining a traditional dry gin structure. It is positioned as a contemporary Italian gin that combines established distillation methods with a botanical profile shaped by regional influences, offering a style that sits between classic London Dry and more modern Mediterranean interpretations.
