Portofino Dry Gin, the Ligurian Riviera in your glass

Designed for lovers of exceptional spirits and cocktail connoisseurs, Portofino Dry Gin offers understated elegance with a controlled character. Inspired by the Mediterranean, it blends 21 carefully selected botanicals hand-harvested on the slopes of Mount Portofino. After a light maceration, each plant is distilled separately in a copper still under the watchful eye of the master distiller before the final blend. The result is a rare harmony where citrus freshness meets a soft profile, while juniper provides a clear backbone supported by discreet spices and a floral veil. Its refined presentation pays tribute to the village of Portofino and its hills, like a liquid postcard from the Ligurian Riviera. For a bright aperitif, inspired mixology or a tasting in its own right, this dry gin delivers a distinctive, precise and long-lasting signature on the palate.

An auteur dry gin, crafted with exacting standards

Portofino Dry Gin relies on a blend of 21 botanicals, including juniper, lemon, lavender, rosemary, iris, marjoram and sage, hand-picked on the slopes above the village. Each botanical undergoes a light maceration, then an independent distillation in a copper still to preserve the aromatic markers intact. The meticulous blending reveals a dry, refined profile where the citrus line wraps around a perfectly defined heart of juniper. Floral and spicy notes unfold with subtlety, never overpowering, for a clear, smooth and persistent mouthfeel. Bottled in 50 cl and at 43% vol., this spirit asserts a measured intensity, ideal for neat tasting over ice as well as for precise mixology. The presentation, inspired by the locale’s aesthetic, completes the experience with a cultural and emotional dimension that places this gin among modern classics.

Tasting moments and pairing suggestions

For aperitif service, serve it over ice with a lemon zest to highlight its freshness and natural softness. For a Gin & Tonic, choose a premium tonic water and garnish with a sprig of rosemary to magnify the herbaceous signature. For a Dry Martini, a simple citrus twist is enough to reveal its precision. Fans of iconic cocktails will appreciate a Negroni with refined bitterness, which this gin brightens with a subtle floral line. At the table, it pairs well with iodized oysters, citrus carpaccio or fresh herb cheeses.
