Working with Giocondo was not easy, the days were intense to the end, he was a cursed Calabrese. I will never stop repeating 'cursed'... That year my back pain was tormenting me more and more every day. My salvation, as usual, was Gil. The doctor found in Sila, by chance or luck, something unique and wonderful, a kind of mud that he expertly heated in a container over hot coals. It was miraculous for my pain. The experience gained on one of his trips to London led him towards the creation of a masterpiece. With the very rural technique of peating, he managed to distil an out-of-this-world 'peated' gin ... Too bad it was little.
Gil Torbato Italiano. The only peated Gin in the world. A distillate born thanks to the richness of our territory, in Calabria, in the beautiful setting of Sila, we brought peat back to light. In fact, some historical books speak of it as a real wealth. In an ancestral way, we combine our 'low altitude' juniper with peat to create Italian Torbato Gin, always keeping faith with the rural distillation method. A true explosion of terroir. It will surprise in blending to give that unique peaty touch. Served neat it will leave its mark.
