Aromatic Paths
Juniper, geranium, mint, rosemary, and wild fennel in the aroma rose, but above all blueberry and mountain pine are the protagonists capable of evoking the scents one breathes in while walking through the paths of the Dolomites surrounding Cortina d’Ampezzo. The total absence of citrus is a peculiar characteristic of Cortina Mountain Gin, not only because it is rare in a landscape where citrus is a wild card in distillation, but because it is functional in perceiving the herbaceous hints and the natural delicacy of the product in a clear, balanced and clean way.
Flavours of the Dolomites
Cortina Mountain Gin
To be consumed in good times and bad. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Democratic and aristocratic at the same time, loved by chefs as well as the general public, by hardened mixers and those who dwell on it sporadically. Eclectic, but with an identity carved in ice.
Botanicals:
Scent
It is floral and fresh, with notes of mountain meadows, followed by soft, enveloping juniper.
Tasting notes
Dry mouth entry: the botanicals open slowly, leaving a velvety feel.
Finale
The aromaticity of the botanicals leaves the palate fresh and satisfied.
Cortina ICE Vodka
Cortina Ice Vodka, with an identity “carved in ice,” is made through double distillation from the purest water in the Dolomites. The drink is best enjoyed neat and cold (but not iced) or paired with savory appetizers and marinated vegetables, pickles in particular, fish and smoked meat, or in mixing as a sidekick to great classics and innovative cocktails.
Spring:
Scent
The scent is very delicate, with very faint floral and citrusy lemon sensations, almost flawless.
Tasting notes
Rich and round, it detects a refined elegance offset by the typical hardness of ice, a pungent sensation that accompanies the entire sip.
Finale
The finish is neutral and clean, with a savory edge and good persistence.
