Wolfrest Italiano Gin (70cl)

An Italian gin whose name means 'rest of the wolf', inspired by the wolf's return journey from central Italy to Piedmont. It uses Italian botanicals encountered along that route. The cereal-based gin is made through four separate distillations in a small still, using seven botanicals: Umbrian juniper, sweet orange from the Ligurian Riviera, thyme, bay leaf, wild rosemary, elderflower and Piedmont hazelnut. Piedmont hazelnut is the leading botanical, harmonising with bay leaf, thyme and wild rosemary from Montelupo Albese. It is suggested after a meal, with neutral dry tonics or a bitter, and in vermouth-based cocktails.
