Product Information

Gin, Filippo says, always played a central role in this ritual of the evening aperitivo. He says, “Gin and tonic has always been our favourite drink. Enrico started introducing us to new gins, and we discovered a whole new world!”

After years of experimenting and refining the recipe, the Sabatini Family finally developed their signature gin, which perfectly captured the essence of Italy in a bottle. The gin was an instant hit among connoisseurs of spirits, and it wasn’t long before it caught the attention of consumers worldwide. Sabatini also understands the importance of building relationships and partnerships with local distributors and retailers, as this will allow him to connect with consumers in a more meaningful way. By working closely with local partners, he hopes to establish the Sabatini Gin brand as a household name in India. The Sabatini Family’s journey began in 2015, with a vision to bring the essence of Italy to the world through a unique and exceptional product. With this goal in mind, they began working tirelessly to create a gin that would represent the country’s rich heritage and culture, incorporating traditional Tuscan aromas into a classic London Dry Gin recipe. This northern Italian region – home of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, to name just two of the many geniuses who were born and worked here – was the centre of Italian political and artistic life for hundreds of years. But its blessings go deeper, to the very ground, and show themselves in the richly flavoured herbs that blossom on the green hillsides.

For our strategic growth we always begin the distribution in the new market by starting to position our gin in high-end places and 5-star hotels and restaurants, working closely with top bartenders to build brand awareness from the top. Creating an event in collaboration with our International Brand Ambassador also gives us the opportunity to accelerate this process.” Think of Tuscan dishes: they’re very simple,” Niccoló explains. “What makes the difference is the freshness of the ingredients.”

Spectacular anywhere you sip it, the Sabatini Gin in this month's box takes on a whole new dimension when enjoyed in the very garden its botanicals grow. Fortunately for lovers of this ginny masterpiece, you can visit the Sabatinis’ villa to see for yourself the spectacular place where this gin was born. Lavender, sage, fennel, thyme – these flavours and scents suffused the summer weeks brothers Enrico and Niccoló, along with their uncle Filippo, spent in their family’s Tuscan villa. Surrounded by olive terraces and gardens bursting with herbs, it was hard for the trio not to fall in love with the bright aromas of their happy family home, especially since their day-to-day lives were so far removed from the villa’s easy Italian elegance. As Ugo Sabatini, elder statesman of the family behind Sabatini Gin, explains: “This is the cradle of the Renaissance, which led to the production of an astounding quality of masterpieces in practically every artistic realm – and this is where the key botanicals of London Dry gin, like juniper, orris and coriander grow.” Sabatini Gin is made with home-grown botanicals and distilled in London Dry Style. This combination creates a perfect balance in flavours consisting in a pleasant aroma of fresh herbaceous and lemon scent, with nuances that refer to the Tuscan countryside.

Heat up a griddle or pan. Brush one slice of aubergine on both sides with olive oil and fry in batches, making sure to allow each slice to soften and char slightly. Continue until all aubergine is griddled. After launching their gin, Niccoló, Filippo, Enrico and Ugo converted the villa’s old lemon house – where valuable lemon trees used to be cultivated behind high walls – into a bespoke gin bar. It was the perfect project. Not only would creating a gin together ensure that Ugo, Enrico, Niccoló and Filippo stayed connected to one another, but it would give them the opportunity to introduce the world to the place that meant so much to them.
