The story
Ginato is presented as a brand born in Ravenna and developed/distributed by the Drinksology Kirker Greer group. Its international commercial presence grew from 2020 with launches in the United Kingdom and Ireland, followed by expansions into markets such as Australia, South Africa and other countries; worldwide distribution is handled by Kirker Greer Spirits.
Production philosophy
Ginato's proposal centers on the idea of the "spirit of Italy": combining typical Italian grapes with juniper and regional citrus to create Mediterranean, aromatic gins suitable both for mixing and for serving on the rocks.
Territory
