Pure Tuscan Gin
Long before gin became an English icon, the “spirit of the forest” was already alive among the monks who tended the woods and mastered the art of herbal remedies. The Vallombrosan monks gathered wild juniper in the Chianti forests, along with rosemary, sage, vine leaves, and other aromatic plants.

History
With juniper and a variety of botanicals, the monks prepared alcoholic infusions meant to heal, strengthen, and purify — true elixirs of health that predated the formal creation of gin by centuries. It is said that Tuscan juniper, rich in essential oils, was already exported to England in the Middle Ages, when distillation was spreading through monastic apothecaries. Our gin is born from that memory: botanicals gathered from the woods, gardens, and vineyards, slowly infused in alcohol with patience and respect.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, it reveals scents of the Tuscan countryside and a hint of sea breeze. On the palate, it is dry yet velvety, with a long, slightly bitter finish. Perfect for an elegant gin and tonic or enjoyed neat over ice. It evokes the sunlit landscapes and vineyard-covered hills of Tuscany — a gin with a bold, authentic character deeply rooted in its land.
