“Smell the scent of my hometown. Lose yourself among its stones, taste me alone”
Travertine, like the stone with which Ascoli Piceno is built, the "city of a hundred towers".
We select and hand-pick only the best juniper, on the mountains that dominate the Tronto valley within the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga park. Here the sea breeze meets the west wind, giving the berries a unique fragrance and balsamic quality.
This collection area gives us a more unique than rare blend of juniper berries. In fact, we find the "juniperus communis" and the "ssp oxycedrus" commonly called "Coccolone", which despite being typical of the Mediterranean scrub, developing in high mountain conditions makes the concentration of its particular essential oils that characterize our Gin intense.
Travertino is built on a solid foundation given by pure alcohol of organic cereal origin, the aforementioned blend of juniper berries - particular and different from the usual - and 10 other botanicals, some of which are grown directly in our private garden.
Made according to the distillation art in the Carter head Alembic (Peppe), with a short infusion of some botanicals and steam current for others, according to the London dry style.
Travertine appears perfectly clear and transparent to the eye,
but it is the nose that releases all its potential, with a distinctly floral, penetrating and intense fragrance, which amazes and invites you to take the first sip.
In the mouth - as a perfect London dry should be - the first to caress the palate is the enveloping aroma of juniper, which brings with it the notes of lavender and damask rose, filling the mouth with perfume without being too intrusive. At this point, after the pleasant surprise of juniper and floral, the citrus notes of bergamot and lemon begin to emerge, which dry and cleanse the palate, merging with the spice of coriander and all the other botanicals, in a blaze of aromas and flavors in order to leave the taster entranced.
Travertine can – indeed should – be enjoyed smooth, because it is perfect in a moment of relaxation and meditation, without however detracting from its suitability for mixing, where it manages to stand out and personalize any cocktail with its floral and citrus notes, unmistakable and different from the usual .
Die Arbeit des Destillateurs ist vergleichbar mit der eines Malers, bei dem die Palette das Territorium und die Pinsel die Pflanzenstoffe sind, die mit Geschick und Meisterschaft eingesetzt und kombiniert werden, um den Gaumen mit Aromen und Geschmacksrichtungen zu erregen, die den wertvollsten Piceno verdichten anbieten.
