KAPRIOL MONTE PELMO
The legacy handed down to us by Mr. De Bernard consists not only of recipes, but also of stories. In one of these, Ferruccio recalls the meeting with a London tourist, which took place during one of his frequent mountain excursions: it is a hot summer evening, the setting sun rests on the massif of Mount Pelmo. Downstream then, the two meet again and Ferruccio offers his Forestal Gin to the tourist, who adds a grapefruit peel. Struck Ferruccio, notes this detail in his diary, smiling at the assonance between the fruit and the mountain and perhaps expecting to one day add a Mediterranean flavor to his mountain gin. Kapriol Mt Pelmo presents itself to the nose with fresh and Mediterranean aromas. On the palate it is soft and persistent, a light note of pink grapefruit merges with the subtle bitter flavors of hops. This gin has a low percentage of sugar and is delicate and aromatic on the palate. The citrus note makes Kapriol Mt Pelmo perfect for a classic Gin Tonic.
