River Mentana, Venetian dry gin, is a distilled gin that was born in Veneto, on the historical routes of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. The research starts from the recipe of a gin made exclusively from juniper that Domenico Maschio produced in the 1940s, a fabulous mix of wild junipers that grow around 400 meters above sea level, on the "Rive" of the left Piave, and the high altitude junipers of the “Gran Bosco da Reme di Venezia”, where we took care of the installation of a new juniper tree at 1,500 meters.

River color, of perfect transparency, gives the nose very elegant aromas of juniper, freshly baked bread, toasted hazelnut and mint. In the mouth it is full, velvety, with mineral hints and accents of sea salt, white pepper and spices. The finish is long, sweet-salty, with notes of almond and cream. It is a soft and dry gin, with excellent freshness, to be tried mixed with tonic waters that are not too aromatic, or “straight”, in order not to dilute and confuse the more delicate aromas.
The mission is to produce a monobotanical distilled gin which, in addition to quality mixology, is excellent when tasted in purity: a gin to be drunk smooth, to fully appreciate the integrity and aromatic persistence.
A difficult challenge because the natural aroma of juniper is delicate and fragile, and only the art of a great master distiller can keep the molecular balance alive and stable over time.
River is a term that defines diamonds from rivers, river in fact. They are the most precious diamonds, with perfect transparency, like our gin.
Mentana is the ancient wheat cultivar that characterizes the alcoholic base. A fragrant, creamy grain with a marked salinity, grown close to the Venice lagoon.
