Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

For the amaros: manual harvesting of botanicals and separate hydroalcoholic infusion of individual ingredients, blending that requires long times (about 11 months for some preparations), filtration through linen cloths and resting in bottle; for the gins: artisanal production/distillation with local botanicals following a 'rural' approach.

Distillation

Rural and artisanal approach: distillation for gins; amaros obtained through separate hydroalcoholic infusions of individual botanicals and subsequent blending.

Producer history Vecchio Magazzino Doganale

The brand positions itself as a 'rural agricultural company' that recovers traditional recipes and practices, highlighting Calabria's botanicals and citrus. The brand narrative evokes a legend linked to the character 'Jefferson' and to historical recipes revisited and adapted in a modern key.

Production philosophy

Rural and sustainable production: selection and cultivation of local botanicals, artisanal processing and respect for the seasonality of raw materials to preserve natural flavours without resorting to colourings or artificial aromas.

Territory

Calabria (Italy); the project and many botanicals come from various Calabrian areas (e.g. bergamot from Pellaro, IGP lemons from Rocca Imperiale, oranges from Bisignano).
