The Gin Macchia Selvaggio is an explosion of Mediterranean aromas encapsulated in a 70cl bottle that celebrates the biodiversity of wild flora. Crafted using traditional methods, this gin is distinguished by its unique character and aromatic complexity.
With a base of high-quality grain alcohol, Gin Macchia Selvaggio is infused with a selection of herbs and aromatic plants typical of Mediterranean regions. Among the ingredients, the standout components are wild myrtle, rosemary, and sage, which impart fresh and balsamic notes to the distillate. The juniper berries, a fundamental element in any respectable gin, are handpicked and added to the mix to ensure an intense and classic flavor.
The distillation process occurs in small batches to maintain high-quality control and ensure that each bottle possesses a distinctive olfactory and taste signature. The result is a clear gin with a rich scent profile that hints at a balanced and harmonious palate. On the nose, the herbaceous notes blend with citrus nuances, while on the palate, a pleasant complexity emerges with a long aromatic aftertaste.
Served neat, with ice, or as the base for sophisticated cocktails, Gin Macchia Selvaggio is able to satisfy the most demanding palates. Its versatility makes it perfect for creating innovative drinks or for enjoying in a traditional manner, allowing each sip to transport you directly to the warm Mediterranean lands.
This bottle not only represents an excellent example of artisanal distillation but is also a tribute to the pristine and wild nature of the Mediterranean. It is ideal for gin lovers who are looking for a distinguished product to enrich their collection.

The story
The project was conceived by Emilio Rocchino. According to local articles, in 2015 Rocchino created the company known as 'Macchia mediterranea' in Olbia (Sardinia), starting with a red vermouth based on myrtle; later the Bianco Maestrale and a gin version were introduced. Production is carried out using external distilleries and artisanal processes with a strong focus on Sardinian territory.
Distillation
For the gin the distillation of botanicals is mentioned (retailer technical sheets indicate steam distillation). For the vermouth the botanicals are infused separately in alcohol and then blended with the wine base.
Ageing
For vermouth: maturation/maceration in stainless-steel tanks for 3–5 months and an additional rest in bottle before commercialisation. Gin: no ageing reported.
