GINEPRAIO in Italian literally means "juniper bush, scrub". It is the intertwining of juniper plants from which the berries are collected, the main ingredient in the production of Gin. In Tuscany the word GINEPRAIO also takes on the metaphorical meaning "getting into a thicket", that is, putting yourself in a difficult or complicated situation.

In London DRY GIN it is not possible to add sugar in the preparation and it is mandatory to distill all the botanicals together (i.e. all the parts of the different plants used in the recipe).

All the ingredients are placed inside the fragile still, through which the alcohol passes during the distillation process, extracting from the botanicals the oils and essences necessary to give GINEPRAIO its distinctive character. In addition to the classic CORIANDER, ANGELICA, LEMON and ORANGE, we have selected two other plants from our region: ROSA CANINA, a climbing species of wild rose, and HELYCHRISIUM, a wild plant that produces yellow flowers in July and grows on the Tyrrhenian coast and in Sardinia .

All these essences enrich the powerful flavor given by the main protagonist of the liqueur: juniper. In reality there are 9 essences, because we use 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF JUNIPER. Given the importance that Tuscany has in the production of juniper, during the development of our recipe, we compared the results of these berries coming from three different areas of Tuscany, distilled separately. This was necessary because juniper, like many other plants, retains different organoleptic properties depending on the area in which it grows.

TASTING NOTES
Aromas of juniper and flowers. Spicy (coriander) and balsamic aromas (juniper and helichrysum).

DESCRIPTION
Tuscan organic gin. Made with organic Tuscan grain alcohol and organic Tuscan botanicals. Essential botanicals of juniper, coriander, angelica root, sweet orange peel, helichrysum italic, lemon peel and dog rose petals.

The history of gin has a strong link with Tuscany because the British Master Gin Distillers have always selected Tuscan juniper, considered high quality.

Ginepraio in Italian has a double meaning: it literally means juniper grove; while, especially in Tuscany, it could also mean a mess, a complicated situation.

The bottle and simple label recall the image of a surgical drip, symbol of the origin of gin, created by a Dutch doctor in 1600, in search of a universal cure for various diseases.
