Emporia Gin

EMPORIA GIN is a precious kind of Gin, based on Phoenician Juniper, produced by Caffo Distillery, one of the first
Italian companies to have started the production of Gin in South Italy from the 1950s, distilling itself Juniper
berries and other natural ingredients.

The use of this rare variety of berries, present in Calabria in a purely wild form, then cultivated and planted
specifically on the company’s land, gives it a more delicate taste than the common drink.

The particular infusion is the result of a large quantity of berries infused in very fine neutral alcohol obtained 100%
by wheat and subsequently distilled in an ancient copper alambic (small batch), dating back to 1945, in bain-marie,
so to separate the most aromatic part of the alcohol and eliminate the tails full of low soluble oils.

An extremely accurate process, led by the experience of our master Distillers, followed by the addition of citrus
peel and aromatic plants, processed according to their seasonality.

A year after the first distillation, the addition of spices and water from the Tyrrhenian Sea (part of the
Mediterranean sea that bathes Calabria) completes the production process. Once mixed, the base is transferred
again to the copper still to be redistilled in order to blend the aromas of the botanicals with Phoenician juniper.
