The first Geneva that carries all the aromas of Italian wine Chianti. ANDThis is the creation of a small distillery with its proposal of cocktail of quality that transfers all the essence of the territory of the Toscana. His name is Senensis Gin, which means 'from Siena' in Latin. It has just been launched on the market by the hand of the Chianti winery Rocca delle Macie.
Your Creator, Paul Moretti, owner of a cocktail bar of sienna, he asked himself, after making combinations with 500 different gins, many of them with local plants, “why not make a gin with native plants of the region? Chianti to have a close relationship with the territory? ”, in this case the province of Siena.
Chianti gin
Thus, the elaboration of the Geneva with these eight plants: the flower and Sangiovese leaf (the Chianti grape variety). As well olive leaf, verbena, tarragon, sage and wild juniper from Castellina de Chianti. In this distillate, with the same aromas of wine Chianti, the bitterness of the olive leaf predominates with a spicy aftertaste of tarragon and the freshness of sage.
La Geneva has a second distillation following the method London dry. The alcoholic base is a mixture of Tuscan cereals. With this new gin, marketed for now in Italy, you can not only taste the flavors of the Tuscan land through wine and, to a lesser extent, beer, but now also through distillates.
Moretti highlights that this Geneva "It can also be taken at the end of meals, due to its digestive characteristics that verbena gives it, instead of a grappa." It also proposes it, within a new concept of 'gastronomic cocktail', as a pairing of dishes with wild boar, pork or marinated salmon.
