The story
The Portofino Dry Gin project was created as a tribute to Klaus Pudel, a figure cited by the company as a family reference; brand communications indicate that the company (Pudel Srl / Pudel SB Srl) is linked to the founding family and promotes the history and lifestyle of the Ligurian Riviera. The legal seat indicated in brand documents is in Milan (Via Legnano, 26).
Production philosophy
Products are presented as an expression of the Mediterranean character of the Ligurian Riviera: careful selection of local botanicals, enhancement of the Portofino territory and communication focused on artisanal quality, design and environmental sustainability of packaging.
Territory
Legal seat in Milan; product and botanicals inspired by and partly harvested on the hills of Portofino (Ligurian Riviera).
Production method
The gin is described as composed of 21 botanicals, some hand-harvested in the "botanical sanctuary" on the hills of Portofino; each botanical is selected and distilled separately before being blended. Technical sources and product data sheets report the use of a copper still (pot still) and also the use of low-temperature vacuum distillation technologies; it is also stated that the distillate is obtained from neutral alcohol made from Italian wheat and that the product is distilled and bottled in Italy.
Distillation
Light maceration of the botanicals; each botanical distilled separately and the distillates then blended. Use of a copper still (pot still) and, according to brand technical documentation, also low-temperature vacuum distillation technologies; some technical sheets also mention the use of a column.
