The Volcano Etna Dry Gin project was born from a spring walk among Etna’s slopes and three sommelier friends who wanted to create a product that would tell the story of Etna’s heady smells, scents and aromas through a deeply territorial gin, with a contemporary vision.
Juniper, Gin’s botanical of reference, on Etna – Europe’s most active volcano, also known as “Mongibello o a Muntagna – finds its ideal habitat, as does broom, absolute princess with its dazzling color and scent.
In the infusion, hazelnut is added for more roundness, wild fennel that lends pride to the spicy notes and bitter orange for fresh, expressive acidity. The result is Volcano, a gin with elegant features and an aromatic and spicy character.
The tale of Etna through gin is also expressed in the aesthetics of the mighty glass with a sophisticated design and the lava stone cap, a little gem of local craftsmanship made of 95 percent volcanic lava fragments.
