By expertly blending the finest Italian juniper berries, botanicals and grape, we have created a collection of wonderful gins that are both extremely unique and exude the true essence of Italy. Gorgeously light and fragrant on the nose with a juicy burst of fresh citrus on the palate. The beautifully blended botanicals open up like a summer flower to reveal glorious complexity and a delightfully long dry finish. A superb gin. Maybe it’s the greyhound on the label, but there’s a definite sleekness to Windspiel – perhaps down to the fact that its base spirit is made with potatoes. It’s super elegant: lots of juniper, citrus, candied lemon peel and a gentle hint of lavender on the finish, no sharp edges. The charm is its smooth, rich texture, made for an indulgent Martinez or (better) a quality Martini. Alc 47%

The crops grow at high elevations where there are few trees and many wildflowers. The Italian berries are a smaller, higher grade, more complex and fruity in flavour.Not surprisingly, almost half of the Gold Outstanding medalist were from the UK. Stylistically, these gins ran the gamut from historic, to traditional, to fruit based and contemporary styled gins.

There are all the gin elements a traditionalist would want – but seen through a Scandinavian filter. It’s like rolling a lemon in your hands in a cool pine forest. That vibrant pine element becomes sweeter and more heathery on the palate, with a high note of coriander dying away slowly on the finish. It’s elegant, highly drinkable, different and yet still respectful. Good as a Martini or a G&T. Organic. Alc 40.5% If the Comte de Grasse is out of your price range, you can still capture the feel of southern France in this well-priced Provence gin. As pale pink as the region’s famed rosé, there’s a dry ‘countryside in the heat’ feel to it, with flavours of peppercorns and thyme. It’s great with tonic, where there’s enough punch that the spirit is distinctly gin, but also a gentle sweetly aromatic finish. Summery. Alc 40% For instance, some variants might see the aromatic and floral nature of a Pinot Grigio grape, which adds a light, crisp layer to the gin's palate. On the other hand, a Nebbiolo grape variant could lend richer, deeper undertones, reminiscent of the famed red wines of the Piedmont region. Italian gin brand Ginato has appointed TV chef Gino D’Acampo as its maestro del gusto (master of flavour). Italian chef Gino D’Acampo will create food recipes to pair with the Ginato Gin rangeSteven Pattison, CEO of Drinksology Kirker Greer, said: “The Ginato range encapsulates a true Italian spirit and without a doubt, Gino D’Acampo is the perfect fit for the brand. You have to be brave to oak-age gin, but this tiny distillery on the island of Hven between Sweden and Denmark has pulled it off well. A light and wheaty gin, with a touch of sweet spice, the oak acts almost as a binding agent on which the other elements sit shyly. It’s textural rather than aromatic, but very smooth with a dry finish. Good Martini gin. Alc 40% We are seeing exceptional growth and success with Ginato in the Australian market and we look forward to continuing to build on that success with our partners.” Lovely light lemon notes; slightly floral with coriander, herbs and pepper aromas shining through on the nose. Well-balanced palate with cardamom, a soft butteryness and pepper combining with the citrus notes, creating a well-integrated and well-made interesting gin.
