The “Spiriti del Bosco”
Gin, Vermouth, Bitter, Albatro, Amaro 21
Spiriti del Bosco, (Spirits of the Wood) is our alcoholic collection.
We have committed ourselves to the creation of five unique spirits which especially remind of Volterra’s heritage and tradition.
During recent research, in fact, we discovered that there was a distillery in the Berignone forest where Gin was produced since 1860.
Nobody knew this story though.
His memory had been lost over time, despite that Gin had even been exhibited in London in 1862.
The Spirits of the Wood were born from the desire to preserve this heritage.
From the love for our territory and the desire to pass on its historical memory to the future.
It is a small production whose ingredients are selected with care and meticulousness in the land of the Alta Val di Cecina.
