‘Ribolgin’ is a gin made from single cold maceration of all ingredients except seawater.
We start with a base of 96% pure Italian grain alcohol, to which the alcohol content is reduced to 50% vol. by adding spring water. The botanicals added to this hydro-alcoholic solution will retain their organoleptic properties to the full, thanks to the reduced alcohol content.
The process takes place with fresh and not dried botanicals.
Our gin is an unfiltered product, so it only undergoes slow natural decanting processes.
The product achieves its final strength of 40% vol. through the addition of spring water and a small amount of seawater, the latter will reproduce the typical flavour of the original recipe.
This gin is made by hand in the most natural way possible, without the use of stills, machinery or filters, artificial flavourings and colourings.

Ribollita is a typical dish of the Tuscan culinary tradition since the Middle Ages, when it was prepared and consumed by the poorest strata of the population.
In the Middle Ages the rich lords would have their meat served on unleavened flatbreads. The servants used the leftovers of that bread, boiling them together with whatever ingredients they could find: herbs and vegetables from the countryside such as celery, carrots and cabbage.
Peasants usually prepared Ribollita on Fridays, when religion and poverty imposed eating ‘di magro’ (low-fat) and bread, vegetables and pulses were what remained.
This soup, reheated and eaten over several days, has persisted over the centuries until today’s dish, now called Ribollita, a true symbol of Tuscan cuisine.
‘Ribollita’ was particularly widespread in the Pisa plain and in the territories of Arezzo and Florence, while today it is a ‘gourmet’ dish in the whole Tuscany.
We intend to create sustainable and inclusive products and at the same time to spread a new concept in the spirits industry.
Our gins are made from fresh, responsibly selected raw materials respecting their seasonality and natural life cycle. We have selected local and Italian ingredients expertly infused using the cold compound technique while respecting the organoleptic properties of all raw materials. The 100% gluten-free ingredients in our recipes allowed us to create an inclusive and accessible gin.
Our products bring about a new paradigm to the world of spirits: imperfections make our bottles special. We have chosen to use up to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) glassbottles and 100% cotton labels, creating totally plastic-free products.
A small-batch production allows us to label and number each bottle by hand, in a perspective of environmental and economic sustainability.
