Produced in Italy, this gin centres its identity around coastal citrus, using lemons sourced from southern Italy to shape its profile. Built on a neutral grain spirit, the distillation incorporates traditional botanicals alongside lemon peel and extracts, allowing citrus oils to play a dominant role. The result is a style that leans away from juniper-forward structure and toward a fresher, more aromatic expression. The lemons used contribute a bright, slightly sweet acidity with a natural oiliness that enhances both aroma and texture. Compared to standard dry gins, the botanical balance is shifted, with juniper acting more as a framework than the primary driver. This creates a profile that feels lighter and more immediate, with less emphasis on spice or depth and more on clarity and freshness.
The spirit responds well to simple serves, particularly with tonic or soda, where the citrus oils are lifted and become more pronounced. It also integrates easily into highballs and spritz-style drinks, where its lemon character can replace or enhance fresh citrus components.
