This gin takes its name from brand owner August Sebastiani's Uncle Val and his Tuscany garden that contained distinctly Italian botanicals including lemon, sage and lavender alongside the juniper. These are joined by black pepper, red sweet pepper and pimento in this special version to give it a fiery kick. It makes a particularly lively gin and tonic - the perfect pick-me-up after a long day toiling in the garden.
Dry juniper, earthy peppercorn, basil leaf, Christmas spices and a hint of lemongrass.
Very interesting subtle and complex flavours. An almost smoky flavour unlike other pepper gins I have tasted. Particularly good with a wedge of lime and a couple of slices of fiery red chilli over lots of ice.
