Malfy Gin Rosa Pink Grapefruit Gin - 70cl/41%

Distillery History:
Malfy is made by the Vergnano family’s Torino Distillati in Piedmont; the name nods to Amalfi. The range splits by Italian citrus: original, lemon, blood orange and this Rosa pink grapefruit. Distilled at Moncalieri, it favours Mediterranean juniper and easy mixing over a heavy London Dry spice frame.

Gin Introduction:
Rosa is built on Sicilian pink-grapefruit peel with Italian rhubarb, juniper, coriander and about four further botanicals. After maceration it is distilled about five hours in a stainless vacuum still and cut with spring water to 41%. The colour is pale rose. Official notes: bright grapefruit, rhubarb, citrus and a hint of anise, with a longer juniper finish than Con Arancia. A flavoured gin for Mediterranean tonic or a spritz.

Tasting Notes:
Nosing: Fresh pink grapefruit, rhubarb and citrus, a touch of anise.
Palate: Juicy, lightly bitter citrus; light body.
Finish: Long, closing on juniper.
