Distillery Notes:
Made and owned by Il Conventino
Ginepraio is an Organic London Dry Gin with a Tuscan accent. It is created using a copper discontinuous alembic still, affectionately nicknamed Lapo. When choosing the name we were inspired by the old saying “cacciarsi in un ginepraio” – to get stuck in a mess – (the dictionary definition is also printed on the label), an informal way to describe a sticky situation from which it is difficult to get out. The same situation in which we found ourselves during the selection of the raw ingredients, all strictly certified, Tuscan, and organic. Starting from the alcohol base that comes from wheat grown in the Mugello area; the seven botanicals, including juniper, dog-rose and helichrysum, come from Maremma, Val D’Orcia and the Chianti area.
Ginepraio is a strong distinctive gin, a child of its land, distilled in Barberino Val D’Elsa. A gin with traits inspired by the world of wine and produced for gin aficionados. Ginepraio can be used in any gin-based cocktail. In our opinion it really shines in Martini and Negroni (a timeless classic drink that pays tribute to its Florentine inventor, Count Negroni). It is a gin that aspires to becoming a point of reference for an educated and demanding clientele that appreciates good quality drinks and local products.
