OCCITAN GIN

Bordiga is a historic Piedmontese distillery founded in Cuneo in 1888 by Cavalier Pietro Bordiga, a herbalist with extensive knowledge of Alpine botanicals and Eastern spices. For over a century, it has produced liqueurs and spirits using original recipes and artisanal methods passed down through generations. Many of the herbs and botanicals are gathered by hand in the Occitan Valleys and processed separately through slow maceration and distillation. Remaining true to its roots, Bordiga continues to use its traditional wood-fired still to create authentic specialities deeply connected to the Alpine region.
Produced entirely in Cuneo, an area renowned for the quality of its ingredients and its artisanal heritage, Gin Occitan is one of Italy’s earliest historic expressions of gin. It originates from an old recipe for “dry juniper liqueur” and embodies the authentic simplicity that distinguishes all Bordiga spirits. It is made from selected juniper berries, gathered by hand in the Alps of the Occitan Valleys, and distilled using an entirely natural process. The result is a crystal-clear gin with intense, complex aromas of spices, citrus fruits and flowers. On the palate, it is rounded, fresh and well balanced, with a pleasantly lingering finish.
