About this deal

Portofino Dry Gin has experienced great success after its 2019 launch in Italy. The gin has earned a multitude of accolades from Gold at the Gin Masters Asia 2020 competition to Triple Gold at The MicroLiquor Spirit Awards this year. After being sold in many countries around the world, Raymo and Egger sought expansion into the U.S. market. The LIVE virtual tastings are carried out in the last week of the month. Please keep an eye on our socials for confirmed dates!

Preneste sa na voňavé pobrežie talianskej Ligúrie do rybárskej dediny Portofino. Malebná dedina s pestrofarebnými domčekmi a tyrkysovým morom bola inšpiráciou pre vytvorenie oceneniami overeného talianskeho ginu Portofino Dry Gin. We will focus on expanding our team by recruiting unique talents, consolidating Portofino Dry Gin’s positioning in the countries we are currently present in and further penetrating new markets. Next year we expect to produce 300,000 bottles and sell 200,000 bottles and we want to guarantee the highest quality standards for our gin.

Portofino’s Future

Poured into a glass, the gin offers a very aromatic nose that includes perfumed notes of rose that join nicely with piney juniper, lemon, and lavender. There is also an interesting herbal note on the nose that may result from the inclusion of rosemary and sage, and a bit of racy alcohol also comes through on the gin. The palate follows the nose, but the flavors are in a slightly different balance. Taking a sip, piney, peppery notes of the juniper now come to the fore and merge with lemon peel, lavender, and an herbal character. The gin’s range of flavors really play together nicely, creating a rounded character, and the finish is a particular strength as the complex lingers for quite some time before gently fading. Raymo then discussed what makes Portofino Dry Gin stand out from other brands: “What we have, which is quite unique, we deliver a different experience. We are able to transport people — through the taste, the visual — to transport them to Portofino. In everything we do, this is our goal.” A Multi-Sensory Experience Gimlet Portofino:The classic Gimlet is already a summer mainstay for good reason, thanks to its bright citrus flavour and light finish. However the addition of sage, lemon and ginger in the Gimlet Portofino brings a new depth of flavour and warmth that could not be better suited for an afternoon in the sun. Or better still - it brings a bit of the Mediterranean sun to wherever you are. Egger and Raymo shared their gratitude for those who helped them “every step of the way” in this new venture. Vyrobený a fľašovaný v Taliansku z ingrediencií prírodného pôvodu. Bez pridávania cukru, konzervantov a dodatočných aróm.

I do not take lightly the responsibility we are carrying, taking a little bit of Portofino around the world for people to taste, but I know the founding members feel the same responsibility, and will honour Portofino for all its majesty in Portofino Dry Gin. Egger and Raymo plan to open an office in New York by the end of next year and continue to advance the brand’s eco-efficiency. Portofino Gin was founded by Ruggero Raymo, Alessandro Briola and Christopher Egger. The gin was created as a tribute to Klaus Pudel – a ‘custodian’ of the namesake village and the grandfather of Raymo, the brand’s CEO. The Pudel family has been living and working in Portofino for generations. The aim of Portofino Dry Gin is to convey the Portofino lifestyle to the public. We think of our gin as the sail of the ship that carries us closer to our vision. It allows us to transport our consumers to an idyllic place in one sip. Everything we do next, such as collaborations with fashion brands, is part of the journey. This complements the experience we are trying to offer. Over eight months we tried out different recipes to achieve a taste that recalls the scents of Portofino. At the same time, our aim was to design a bottle that told our story and highlighted the beauty of Portofino. We wanted Portofino Dry Gin to reflect our vision and values based on excellence, elegance and style. It took a year to develop, until we launched a small batch of 3,000 bottles in April 2019.Egger and Raymo then discussed how all 21 botanicals have been carefully selected for their aromas and flavors. According to the two, there are t hree key segments to the gin: the floral (rose and lavender), the citrus (tangerine, orange and grapefruit) and the herbal (sage, marjoram and rosemary). It was a long and new process to get the proper certification to expand sales to the U.S. as a new product,” Egger said. The recipe “recalls Italian cuisine, Ligurian cuisine,” added Raymo. “It’s a multi-sensory experience.” Portofino’s Future He then continued to detail the importance of each feature: “ T he square shape of the bottle, the blue color of the Ligurian sea – which is particular to the region of Portofino – [and] the label represents our fishing village.” With these elements in mind, Portofino Dry Gin is the “vehicle to transport [its] consumers” to the founders’ beloved village. The two founders mentioned how New York — diverse and cosmopolitan — has been a great location to grow as a brand by speaking directly to consumers and retailers.

According to the brand, the region’s unique microclimate allows Mediterranean vegetation to grow all year-round, with each of the gin’s botanical ripened by the sea breeze and the warm sun of the Italian riviera. We are taking action to reduce our environmental footprint. We recently decreased the amount of glass used in the manufacture of our bottle, saving several tonnes of material and lowering our transport and therefore greenhouse gas emissions.To learn more about the brand and the company’s plans for the future, The Spirits Business spoke to co-founder and CEO Ruggero Raymo.
