A truly Italina tipple, for this fresh gin Ginato blended Tuscan juniper, Sicilian citrus and Italian Pinot Grigio grapes! Lots of white fruit notes to be enjoyed thanks to the addition of the grapes – perhaps a gin for wine lovers...?
A core of juniper supported by bright lime and lemon, with orchard fruit and white florals in tow.
Usually "unsubtle" and "uncomplicated" are words meant as backhanded slights, but in this case they are the key to this gin's appeal, as with a rustic dish having few ingredients, but all at their freshest, ripest peak. A big, juicy, summery delight; one of the brightest gins I've ever tasted. The base for a pleasantly fruity negroni, great in a sloppy-wet martini on the rocks (with ice I can almost drink this on its own), and in a G&T, liable to be guzzled if it's warm out. It's definitely not an up-with-an-onion kind of gin -- I like those too -- but I'm very happy to have discovered it and it'll be a regular of mine from now on.
