Gin Scorza by Distilleria Leonardelli is a refined and aromatic Italian gin that celebrates the vibrant essence of citrus fruits in perfect harmony with traditional botanicals. Produced in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige, this gin is crafted with meticulous care, combining the distillery's deep-rooted expertise with a modern, creative twist.
The defining feature of Gin Scorza is its bold infusion of citrus peels ("scorza" means peel in Italian), which provide an invigorating freshness and zesty character. The carefully selected botanicals, including juniper berries, aromatic herbs, and spices, are artfully balanced to deliver a bright and complex flavor profile.
On the nose, it reveals lively citrus aromas intertwined with classic juniper notes, while the palate offers a smooth, refreshing taste with layers of lemon, orange zest, and a hint of herbal spice, leading to a clean, lingering finish. This versatile gin is perfect for classic cocktails like a Gin & Tonic, where its citrus-forward notes shine, or in more sophisticated creations such as a Tom Collins or Gin Fizz.
Gin Scorza embodies Distilleria Leonardelli’s commitment to quality and innovation, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate premium spirits with a fresh, modern twist. Its elegant presentation makes it as visually appealing as it is enjoyable to drink, a true highlight for gin enthusiasts.
