The Portofino Dry Gin brand has always drawn inspiration from this extraordinary landscape. Today, we have the pleasure of presenting the jewel in their crown: the limited edition Portofino Dry Gin “La Penisola”. It is an exceptional spirit that takes us on a journey inland, and its character is defined by the prestigious London Dry Gin style.
A stroll through the peninsula, not just along the coast
How does “La Penisola” differ from its classic predecessor? In its concept. While the classic Portofino Dry Gin is a tribute to the coast, the limited edition “La Penisola” is the essence of the peninsula itself – its hills, forests, and hidden gardens.
The creators moved from 21 botanicals to a carefully selected ten that perfectly captures the scent of a walk through a Mediterranean forest. This composition includes:
- Maritime Pine Needles
- Grapefruit and Lemon
- Juniper
- Rose and Rosemary
- Tangerine and Marjoram
- Bay Leaf and Sage
Thanks to the precise London Dry Gin distillation method, all these aromas are perfectly integrated, creating a spirit of exceptional purity and authenticity.
A journey through aromas and flavors
Every sip of “La Penisola” is a sensory experience that transports you straight to Italy.
- On the nose, a fresh, balsamic aroma of maritime pine needles is striking.
- On the palate, the gin is warm and round. The notes of pine and citrus blend perfectly, creating a smooth and harmonious whole.
- The taste is incredibly delicate and clean. Juniper notes and balsamic accents dominate, complemented by a subtle background of grapefruit, rose, and herbs.
- The finish is long, leaving a pleasant, citrus memory on the tongue.
Portofino Dry Gin “La Penisola” is a limited edition, created for true connoisseurs and lovers of the Italian style. It’s not just a gin; it’s an invitation to discover the heart of Portofino, captured in an elegant bottle.
