What is Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin?

Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin captures the essence of the Mediterranean coast with its unique blend of botanicals, including native Tuscan juniper and the rare Helichrysum Italicum flower. Interestingly, the gin's name "Ginepraio" has a dual meaning in Tuscany: it literally translates to "juniper thicket," but it's also a colloquial term used to describe a tricky or thorny situation – making it a clever conversation starter for cocktail enthusiasts.

Why do we love Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin?

Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin for its uniquely Mediterranean character, featuring local botanicals like Tuscan juniper and helichrysum italicum (curry plant) that capture the essence of the Italian coast. This artisanal gin also stands out for its clever double meaning – "ginepraio" refers to both a juniper thicket and a tricky situation in Tuscan dialect – adding a playful linguistic twist to your cocktail experience.

How do you drink Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin?

Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin shines in classic gin cocktails, particularly those that let its bold juniper and floral notes take center stage, but it's also delightful sipped neat or with a splash of tonic and a twist of orange peel. This Mediterranean-inspired spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light, herb-infused dishes or fresh seafood that complement its aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh juniper berries leap from the glass, joined by zesty citrus notes of lemon and orange peel. Subtle floral hints of dog rose and helichrysum (curry plant) add complexity, while a whisper of coriander provides a gentle spice backdrop.

Palate: Crisp and clean with pronounced juniper upfront. The citrus elements brighten, offering a mix of sweet orange and tart lemon. Angelica root lends an earthy undertone, while the helichrysum contributes a slightly herbaceous, tea-like quality. The coriander becomes more prominent, adding a peppery spice that balances the sweeter botanicals.

Finish: Medium-long and warming. The juniper persists, accompanied by lingering citrus oils and a pleasant floral aftertaste. A subtle peppery tingle from the coriander and a touch of dry, herbal bitterness from the angelica root round out the experience, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.

Ginepraio Organic Tuscan Dry Gin follows the classic London Dry process, where natural botanicals are macerated in wheat spirit before being distilled in a copper pot still. What's intriguing about this gin's production is its use of distinctly Tuscan ingredients like local juniper and helichrysum italicum (curry plant), infusing the spirit with the essence of the Mediterranean scrubland.

Ginepraio's name is a clever Tuscan pun - it means both "juniper thicket" and "a tricky situation," hinting at the gin's complex flavors and the challenging art of distillation.

This gin incorporates the rare Helichrysum Italicum, a Mediterranean flower known as the "Immortal Plant" due to its long-lasting blooms, adding a unique floral note to the spirit.

Ginepraio's bottle design pays homage to gin's medicinal roots, resembling pharmaceutical packaging - a nod to the spirit's history as a cure-all in 17th century Europe.
