The 7 botanicals of Fructetum
The Fructetum recipe combines seven selected botanicals to achieve a balanced and recognizable aromatic profile:
- Juniper
- Orange peel
- Bergamot
- Rosehip
- Apple
- Coriander seeds
- Cubeb pepper
Aromatic profile and taste
On the nose, the citrus notes of orange and bergamot emerge predominantly, accompanied by the balsamic character of juniper. Apple contributes to the roundness of the profile, while coriander and cubeb pepper add a spicy component and greater persistence to the finish.
The result is a balanced London Dry Gin, in which the citrus component remains the star without masking the classic structure of the juniper.
How to drink Fructetum
Fructetum can be enjoyed neat or used in mixing. Its citrus profile makes it particularly versatile in a Gin Tonic and in cocktails where you want to keep the character of the spirit recognizable.
To prepare a balanced Gin Tonic, pour 50 ml of Fructetum into a glass filled with ice, add 100–150 ml of cold tonic water, and complete with an essential garnish. Start with a 1:2 gin-to-tonic ratio and adapt it to the aromatic profile of the spirit and your personal taste.
Production and sustainability
Fructetum is created through artisanal production in small batches, with a focus on the choice of raw materials, production quality, and packaging.
- Certified organic alcohol base
- Bottle made of 100% recycled PCR glass
- Plastic-free packaging
- Artisanal production in Italy
These choices are part of the Naturæ Spirits approach: to enhance botanicals, production quality, and design while reducing, where possible, the use of virgin materials and plastic in packaging.
