Distiller Notes
Carlo Vergnano and Beppe Ronco, the distillers, are fervent Alpinists. On a climb up to the top of Monviso (visible from the distillery), they were inspired by the wild juniper, the pure spring water and the amazing colors of the mountain lakes.
Originale Gin is distilled with Juniper, Coriander and five other botanicals. It is blended with pure spring water from the nearby Monviso mountain - the highest altitude source of any spring in Italy. The base of the bottle is inspired of the mountain lakes and the label colors reflect the snow capped peak.

Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
