The story
The RIVO (RIVO Foraged Gin) brand is owned by MAGI srl and produces small-batch distillations without additives or added sugars. The Sloe Gin version, made with hand-collected wild sloe berries from Italy and left to macerate for months, was introduced in 2017 and the first commercial batch was released in 2018; limited-edition labels are hand-numbered. Production highlights the manual harvesting of botanicals around Lake Como and the artisanal nature of the processes.
