Rivo Lake Como Foraged Gin Vol.43% Cl.50

Gin Rivo is a "Made in Italy" gin produced by hand, distilled with hand-picked botanicals on the shores of Lake Como.

Vintage in numbered bottles.

Rivo Gin was born on Lake Como where, for centuries, women have collected the herbs that grow spontaneously there to prepare medicines and remedies.

Precisely this magical element and the story of the witches inspired the packaging of the gin and its label with geometric lines that follow each other to create abstract figures, which in the details reflect the lines of the mountains and the waves of the lake, the natural elements typical of the territory .

Rivo Gin contains twelve botanicals, some of which (wild thyme, lemon balm, savory, pimpinella and other rarer ones) are hand-picked in the meadows around Lake Como with the help and certification of expert ethno-botanists.

Rivo Gin is distilled in a batch copper alembic in a bain marie starting from an alcohol based on Italian wheat.

The fresh hand-picked botanicals are placed separately in a hydroalcoholic solution at 50 ° for 48 hours. Afterwards each botanical is pressed and the individual infusions are distilled separately and then mixed together.

The batches are small to ensure quality and continuity in the product, which is brought to an alcohol content of 43%.
