GIN DRY “Vallombrosa”lt. 0,5 – VALLOMBROSA

In the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, at 1,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by a forest of centuries-old plants, stands the abbey built in 1028 by San Giovanni Gualberto, who founded the Benedictine Congregation of Vallombrosa. Famous for production honey housewife, chocolate, herbal preparations for face and body care, liqueurs and bitter liqueurs of many herbs, the Abbey is especially renowned for the Gin Dry of Vallombrosa, produced solely based on a wild variety of berries of juniper growing on the hills between Sansepolcro and Pieve Santo Stefano, in the province of Aretina. The high aromatic concentration found in this plant guarantees the use in distillation in monovarietal form with excellent results, al that some Anglo-Saxon breeders have isolated some samples for it produce Single Summer Gin products with the ‘cold compound’ technique.
