Eleganti, raffinati e sostenibili: 5 gin da non perdere

Undisputed protagonist of the world of spirits and mixology in the last decade (and a real boom, which we talked about here, that Oltremanica call "ginaissance"), gin and its growth on the market do not seem to know setbacks, even in our country. In 2024, according to Circana data, gin increased by 15% compared to 2023, when the turnover generated by this distillate was almost 80 million euros according to IWSR (International wine & spirits research) data in Italy.

 A success due to the great versatility of the gin and the variety of botanicals that define its aromatic profile, making it the ideal spirit to be enjoyed on the rocks or mixed to create more innovative and sophisticated traditional cocktails and drinks. We suggest you 5 labels elegant, refined and with an eye for sustainability not to be missed:

Visionair Gin, the bee friendly Gin

Visionair is a future-oriented craft gin from Tuscany that focuses on sustainability thanks to the ethical choices in environmental protection made by its two founders. Each plant has been carefully selected from among the "bee-friendly flowers", that is flowers with quantities of nectar higher, able to support bees during climate changes. To all this we add the choice of an eco-friendly packaging: a stainless steel bottle that can be recycled indefinitely. A gin that tickles the nose with the balsamic part of juniper, then leaves room for round floral notes emphasized by chamomile, acacia flowers and bergamot. In line with its philosophy, Visionair recalls the flowering of spring and the awakening of nature. A lovely gin to drink alone.

Sapling, the climate positive Gin

Certified B Corp, Sapling Spirits is a deeply green British company whose commitment to sustainability translates into concrete actions, such as the reforestation project that provides for the planting in Great Britain of one tree per bottle sold. A local green sensitivity that crosses British borders: in our country, for example, the company has planted 20,000 olive trees in Puglia to help combat desertification caused by Xylella. A climate-positive reality that for its London Dry Gin uses only local regenerative organic wheat, giving rise to a classic reinterpretation of this spirit: bold and pleasantly spicy, with a strong presence of juniper gives a refreshing taste with hints of rosemary for a herbaceous finish.

Renais Gin, the Gin that "speaks" of wine

Renais means "rebirth" and is the name of the gin launched by actress Emma Watson, together with her brother Alex, which captures the essence of the terroir of Burgundy. An intriguing gin that includes among its botanicals the organic grapes from the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards of the father’s estate, used immediately after being pressed to make wine. Along with juniper, lime blossoms, coriander seeds, cubit pepper, acacia honey and a pinch of rock salt are also used to recreate the mineral and slightly salty taste typical of Chablis. Certified carbon-neutral, this bold and vibrant gin is ideal not only for mixing but also to be enjoyed at the end of a meal.

Dry Gin, a drop of Adriatic Sea with Seri Pervas

The Dry Gin of Seri Pervas arrives from Trieste, a project born to pay tribute to the territory and the commercial and emporial past of the city. Local raw materials and artisanal production are the peculiarities of this reality that takes its name from a steamer built in 1839 that for years sailed along the Danube and sailed the seas. From now on Dry Gin has a strong balsamic effect, well balanced by the spicy Mediterranean notes of olive leaves and rosemary, as well as the freshness of basil leaves and lemon essential oil. The palate is dry, with a pleasant taste due to the water of the Adriatic Sea. The herbaceous notes of juniper and olive leaves are protagonists giving a retronasal feeling of Mediterranean scrub.

Peter In Florence, the Gin of elegance

Produced in Tuscany in the micro-distillery founded by the English entrepreneur Patrick Hoffer on the hills just outside Florence, this London Dry gin embodies the elegance, class and style typically Italian: label in imitation leather, hand-stitched, fourteen Tuscan botanicals, including the iris flower, symbol of Florence, and the famous Tuscan juniper, sought after all over the world. Intense and inebriating in its mainly floral scents - among petals of iris, rosemary, lavender and cardamom - enriched by round citrus notes of coriander, bergamot and lemon: a mix of aromas that are also found in the mouth.
