Rivo Citrus Gin is a handcrafted "Made in Italy" gin, distilled with botanicals hand-picked on the shores of Lake Como.
RIVO Citrus "A Summer on the Lake" is a limited edition dedicated to summer that celebrates the citrus flavors of Italy. This vintage gin comes in numbered bottles.
Rivo Citrus Gin is born on Lake Como, where, for centuries, women have collected the herbs that grow wild there to prepare medicines and remedies, to which bitter orange, lemon, and bergamot are added.
This magical element and the story of witches inspired the gin's packaging and label, featuring geometric lines that intersect to create abstract figures, whose details reflect the contours of the mountains and the waves of the lake, the natural elements typical of the area, and the colors of citrus fruits.
Rivo Gin Citrus agrumato contains fifteen botanicals, some of which (wild thyme, lemon balm, savory, burnet, and other rarer ones) are hand-picked in the meadows around Lake Como with the help and certification of expert ethno-botanists.
The citrus fruits: bitter orange, lemon, and bergamot.
Rivo Gin agrumato is distilled in a copper pot still using a bain-marie method from an Italian grain alcohol base.
The fresh, hand-picked botanicals are placed separately in a 50° hydroalcoholic solution for 48 hours.
Each botanical is then pressed, and the individual infusions are distilled separately and then blended together.
The batches are small to ensure quality and consistency, which is brought to an alcohol content of 43%.

Aromas: On the nose, Rivo Gin Citrus strikes with its citrus aroma accompanied by floral notes, fruity notes, and light hints of undergrowth.

Rivo Agrumato Lake Como Foraged Gin is excellent on its own with two ice cubes, in a classic gin and tonic, in a Tom Collins, and in the quintessential Italian Negroni cocktail, it's exceptional!
