Monnalisa Gin

The story
The Monnalisa Gin project presents itself as a brand inspired by a historical episode linked to the Lake Maggiore area (the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa and the figure of Vincenzo Peruggia). The producer's website recounts this territorial suggestion and positions the product as a local reinterpretation of the gin tradition, with references to the valleys surrounding Lake Maggiore.
Production philosophy
Search for natural and sustainable botanicals, attention to craftsmanship and accuracy in quality control stages; commitment to recycled packaging and production that values local essences.
Territory
Lake Maggiore (Luino, province of Varese), Lombardy, Italy.
Production method
Selection of botanicals, mixed with alcohol and subjected to distillation in copper stills. The distillate is brought to the final strength of 40° before being filtered, bottled and packaged with manual quality control.
Distillation
Distillation in copper stills (extraction by evaporation of aromas from the botanicals).
