Produced in Italy, this gin highlights pink grapefruit as its defining botanical, layered onto a neutral grain spirit alongside traditional ingredients such as juniper and citrus peel. The production approach focuses on extracting essential oils from grapefruit peel, which contribute both aromatic intensity and a characteristic balance of sweetness and bitterness. Pink grapefruit brings a more complex citrus profile compared to lemon or orange, with a slightly bitter edge and a softer, rounded sweetness. This shifts the structure away from classic dry gin, placing greater emphasis on fruit expression while still retaining a light juniper backbone. The result is a profile that feels both vibrant and slightly more nuanced than simpler citrus-led gins.
The spirit performs best in simple serves where its citrus character can open up fully, particularly with tonic or soda. It also works well in spritz-style drinks or light cocktails that benefit from a combination of brightness and gentle bitterness.
