Description
What kind of spirit it is
Berto Gin Dry by Distilleria Quaglia is a structured London Dry gin from Piedmont, Italy, crafted from high-quality grain alcohol at 43% ABV. It offers a smooth and beautifully balanced sensory profile, anchored by a core of juniper alongside vibrant citrus notes of lemon and orange. The aromatic bouquet reveals resinous, floral, and herbaceous nuances, leading to a persistent finish defined by Mediterranean balsamic tones. Careful maturation allows the botanicals to integrate fully, making this spirit highly versatile for classic cocktails such as a Negroni or a Gin and tonic.
Where it comes from
This spirit originates from Castelnuovo Don Bosco in Piedmont, Italy, nestled between Turin and Monferrato. Crafted by Quaglia, a family-run estate active since 1890, it reflects four generations of distilling expertise and deep ties to local recipes. This strong connection to the land is demonstrated through the careful selection of natural raw materials, resulting in a precise botanical profile. Operating as a certified organic distillery since 2018, the producer creates authentic spirits while prioritising environmental protection.
How it is produced
Berto Gin Dry is carefully crafted in a discontinuous pot still through traditional small-batch distillation. The intricate recipe is centred on juniper, incorporating lemon and orange peel alongside iris root, wormwood, bay laurel, rosemary, coriander, and cardamom. These ingredients are delicately extracted to preserve absolute clarity and balance. Following distillation, controlled maturation ensures the botanicals blend into a harmonious profile. This meticulous method yields a structured spirit featuring a dry, enveloping palate and a consistent aromatic profile from nose to finish.
