Major Gin is an excellent spirit produced by the historic Distilleria Francoli in Piedmont. This Gin is inspired by the beauty of Lake Maggiore and the botanical heritage of the Piedmontese Alps, combining the elegance of a classic recipe with local ingredients that define its unique and fragrant character.
Francoli - Major Gin
Major Gin is born from the encounter between Piedmontese distilling tradition and the botanicals that grow spontaneously between the shores of Lake Maggiore and the foothills of the Alps. It is a gin that stands out for the balance between the balsamic component of juniper and a distinctive aromatic note given by the alpine cherries. Distilleria Francoli has created a modern product that honors its land of origin, using high-quality grain alcohol and a selection of medicinal plants treated with the utmost care. The result is a harmonious spirit, capable of combining floral and fruity notes with a dry and clean structure, ideal both for drinking neat and as a base for high-level mixology.
Sensory Profile To the eye, it is crystalline and transparent. On the nose, the bouquet is complex and very pleasant: the classic notes of juniper and citrus are enriched by a fruity and sweet touch of alpine cherry and delicate nuances of mountain herbs. On the palate, the entry is soft and round, with a well-balanced body. The cherry is delicately perceived without being cloying, integrating with the spices and resinous notes of juniper. The finish is fresh, long and slightly floral, with a very refined aromatic persistence.
Production and Method The production of Major Gin follows rigorous quality standards. The selected botanicals are infused in pure grain alcohol and distilled in stills that allow for the extraction and preservation of the most volatile and delicate aromas. The use of pure water from local springs contributes to the extraordinary cleanliness of the sip. As with all Francoli products, production occurs with a particular focus on environmental sustainability, using renewable energy sources.
Serving Suggestions It is an extremely versatile Gin. Excellent in a Gin & Tonic prepared with a quality neutral tonic and garnished with a lemon peel or a maraschino cherry to recall its botanicals. Thanks to its smoothness, it is ideal for preparing an elegant Negroni or for sipping chilled as a refined digestif.
