Rivo Gin 2017, Magi
Rivo
The bottle and label are sublime, as is the content (43% alcohol): on the nose, a great freshness welcomes you with notes of pine sap, citrus, and white honey. On the palate, lemon balm and juniper assert themselves, giving way to a lemony note—coriander seed—followed by a bouquet of wild plants. An elegant, tangy gin, best drunk very, very cold, whether you choose to add it to a cocktail (see our martini) or enjoy it on its own.

Rivo Sloe Gin, Magi SRL, 2017
Rivo
Unlike white gin, this is only 30% alcohol. To make it, wild sloe berries are harvested in Italy after the first frost, which softens the fruit and develops their flavor. They then macerate for several months in Rivo gin before distillation. A superb ruby red color, slight sweetness, roundness, and no bite: just delicate, fruity notes of wild berries, pitted almonds, almonds, and sweet spices. Alone or in a cocktail, it's wonderful.

Rivo is Italian-style gin. This spirit, closely associated with England and James Bond, has found a home on the mountain trails overlooking Lake Como. In 2014, Marco Rivolta, a gin enthusiast, discovered the ideal flora around this magnificent lake for creating a purely local gin. With the help of his mother, it took him two years to perfect the recipe: seven wild plants, hand-picked three times a year within a radius of several kilometers around the lake, are added to juniper and spices. These include burnet, winter savory, lemon balm, and wild thyme. At the Quaglia distillery, one of the oldest in Italy, each fresh plant is macerated for 48 hours in 70% Italian grain alcohol, while the spices macerate for 10 days. The macerates are then filtered and distilled in a double still for varying lengths of time depending on the ingredient: ten days for some, others no more than half an hour. Finally, this aromatic polyphony is blended and diluted to a strength of 43% alcohol. The resulting gin is extremely elegant and enhances any cocktail. Rivo's other specialty, sloe gin (wild sloe gin) is a marvel of smoothness.
