Seven ingredients, a thousand emotions.
The heart of Belpaese Gin is found in the most authentic and familiar flavors of Italy, those that have always enriched our tables and told our story. Every sip is a journey through excellences that speak of tradition, passion and quality. This is how Belpaese becomes more than a gin: it is Italy in a bottle.
JUNIPER
Italian juniper is the predominant ingredient in our gin, essential to defining its identity and aromatic profile. It grows wild across various areas of the Italian peninsula—from the Alps to the Apennine hills and along the Mediterranean coasts—developing unique nuances depending on the terroir. Its berries, rich in essential oils, give the distillate balsamic and resinous notes, with hints of pine, citrus, and delicate spicy undertones. A key element that brings balance to the gin—just as every true dry gin should.
30-MONTH AGED HARD CHEESE
The 30-month aged hard cheese is a distinctive ingredient that enriches the gin’s profile with depth and character. Its long aging process intensifies its structure, making it crumbly and rich in tyrosine crystals—a sign of exceptional maturation. Its flavor is complex and enveloping, with notes of dried fruit, butter, and a subtle saltiness that perfectly balances the other botanicals. This ingredient adds an unexpected touch, creating a gin with a sophisticated aromatic profile that is unmistakably Italian.
BASIL
Basil, a symbol of Italian culinary tradition, brings freshness and aromatic intensity to the gin. Primarily grown in Liguria and other Mediterranean regions, it releases a bold, green fragrance with sweet and slightly spicy notes. Its herbaceous essence blends seamlessly with the other botanicals, adding a vibrant, harmonious touch that enhances the gin’s Italian soul—noticeable from the very first moment you open the bottle.
SUN-DRIED CHERRY TOMATO
Sun-dried cherry tomato, an icon of Southern Italian tradition, brings a unique and surprising touch to the gin. Slowly dried to concentrate its flavors and aromas, it releases natural sweet-and-sour notes, subtle umami nuances, and a delicate salty hint. Native to the sunniest regions of Italy, its bold character blends beautifully with the other botanicals, enriching the gin’s profile with the depth and warmth that define our peninsula.
TAGGIASCA OLIVE
The Taggiasca olive, a treasured fruit of Ligurian tradition, gives the gin a unique and sophisticated character. Small in size, with firm flesh and a delicate yet rich flavor, it releases fruity and slightly herbal notes, with a hint of saltiness. Grown along the sun-drenched coasts of Liguria, its essence adds enveloping depth, enriching every sip with an authentic and refined nuance.
THYME
Thyme, a bold aromatic herb, is a true gem of Mediterranean flora. It grows wild in sun-drenched, rocky areas of Italy—especially along the coasts and sunny hillsides. It releases an intense, slightly balsamic aroma, with earthy and floral undertones. Its robust, fragrant essence perfectly balances the other botanicals, lending the gin an elegant complexity and a lingering aromatic finish that enhances every tasting with a distinctly Mediterranean flavor.
ROSEMARY
Rosemary, an aromatic herb symbolic of Italian cuisine, grows wild in Mediterranean regions, thriving in the rocky, sunlit soils of Italy’s coastal and hillside landscapes. Its intense and enveloping fragrance—with resinous, fresh, and slightly balsamic notes—brings a vibrant freshness and depth to the gin. This bold aroma enhances the spirit with a unique complexity, elevating each sip with elegance and character.
