Portofino Gin is the embodiment of these pleasures. Capturing the understated beauty and hidden charm of an enchanting village. Nestled between the Ligurian Hills and the Mediterranean Sea. Where dolphins swim, the days unwind, time is forgotten and life is savored, one sip at a time. Portofino Gin is the authentic spirit of that which is…
Simply Portofino.
Our Gin
Using a mixture of botanicals that convey the sensations and scent of Portofino, our gin seeks to take you on an unforgettable journey along the Mediterranean coast.
Portofino Gin features 21 ingredients carefully selected for their intense aromatic properties. Juniper, lemon, lavender, rosemary, marjoram, sage, iris, roses – together with other local delicacies – are handpicked in our botanical sanctuary on the hills of Portofino.
Our Story
The Pudel family has been living and working in Portofino for generations. Welcoming those who have come to appreciate its enchanting elegance.
Our grandfather Klaus Pudel was a man much admired having saved the famous village from destruction during The Second World War and later in the 1950s and ’60s as host to some of the most wonderful parties of La Dolce Vita’s era.
We created Portofino Gin in homage to Klaus and, like him, it is a playful spirit with an unmistakable Mediterranean character.
Tasting Trip
Produced by an Antique Italian Distillery, each batch of our gin is made using a combination of traditional and innovative methods: an ancient Italian copper still historically used to distill local liqueurs and grappas, and the latest generation Rotavapor© which, using vacuum distillation, manages to preserve the most delicate aromas of our precious botanicals.
Portofino Dry Gin’s initial notes are from fresh lemon and crisp juniper that transport us to the hills of Portofino. They give way to a universe of Mediterranean flavors: from the rosemary and lavender perfumes of the coastal scrub to the sweet and delicate notes of marjoram and sage that evoke the taste of traditional Ligurian cuisine.
