Mintis Gin Amarena Cherry & Pancalieri Mint is an artisanal Italian gin from Piedmont that combines fruity Amarena cherries with the distinctive freshness of Pancalieri mint. Mintis is produced at the family-run Torino distillery in Moncalieri, which is run by Carlo Vergnano together with his family and a small team. The gin is made using hand-picked Italian juniper berries, high-quality Amarena cherries from Pecetto, lemon and the region’s signature Pancalieri mint. The careful selection of Piedmontese ingredients gives this gin a distinct regional identity, combining traditional Italian ingredients with a modern take on fruit-forward gin.


A distinctive feature of Mintis Amarena Cherry Gin is its gentle production process in a specially developed vacuum still. Under the guidance of the experienced master distiller Denis Muni, the gin is distilled for around eight hours at just 60 °C. The comparatively low distillation temperature serves to preserve the fresh and aromatic qualities of the botanicals as effectively as possible. At 41.8% ABV in the 0.7-litre bottle, Mintis combines robust juniper with cool Pancalieri mint, fresh lemon and Italian black cherry. This combination, together with the artisanal production in Piedmont, makes this pink-coloured gin a distinctive alternative for lovers of fruity and Mediterranean-style gins.
