A bit of history

Villa Ascenti Gin, comes from the Distilleria Santa Vittoria, which nestles in the eastern Italian Marche region, south east of Florence. Recently, they’ve spent lot of money building a new distillery and they’ve refurbished their 1970s Frilli copper pot still. Steeped in Italian provenance, Villa Ascenti celebrates the excellence of the region in local ingredients and expertise.

Interesting facts


Lorenzo Rosso, the Master Distiller at Villa Ascenti, is a trained winemaker. As part of his role, he works closely with local farmers to select the finest ingredients to create Villa Ascenti Gin. Fresh Italian herbs are distilled within hours of harvest, to ensure they lock in the freshest taste. Moscato grapes (the Italian name for Muscat grapes) are local to the region and have sweet flavours of peach and orange blossom. They’re harvested in August and September, when the fruit is at its best, before undergoing three distillations. During the final one, the grapes are infused with Tuscan juniper berries, which gives Villa Ascenti Gin its unique flavour."
