Distillation and production

Production method

Gins are made by blending distillates and cold infusions ('bathtub' / cold infusion) with gentle filtration; vermouths are produced by aromatizing Italian wine bases in compliance with the Disciplinare del Vermouth di Torino G.I.; the Vermouth G.I. Superiore also uses a two-stage barrel ageing process.

Distillation

Gin: blend of distillates and cold infusions (cold infusion) based on a juniper distillate; Vermouth: aromatization of wine bases according to the Disciplinare di Torino.

Ageing

For the Vermouth di Torino G.I. Superiore: extended two-stage barrel ageing. Some gins (À La Madame) include maturation of blended distillates and infusions.

Producer history Del Professore

Created in 2013 in Rome by a group of bartenders led by Leonardo Leuci (founder of the Jerry Thomas Speakeasy), Del Professore was born as a project to recover historical mixology techniques and to produce vermouth and gin using Italian raw materials and recipes inspired by the past. The brand was acquired by the Campari Group in 2022/2023.

Production philosophy

To pay homage to the traditional art of mixology by combining Italian natural ingredients, artisanal methods and historical recipes; emphasis on wine as the base for vermouth and on achieving aromatic balance for the gins.

Territory

Founded in Rome; production and sourcing linked to Piedmont (the historical area of Vermouth di Torino), using selected Piedmont wines (e.g. Barolo base for the Superiore version).
