POLI DISTILLERIE
MARCONI 46 ITALIAN GIN
SCHIAVON • VENETO • VACUUM DISTILLATION WITH ALPINE BOTANICALS
"The purity of the Alps in every drop. An aristocratic gin with a distinctly dry and balsamic profile, vacuum-distilled to capture the living essence of the Italian forest."
Vacuum Distillation in Crysopea, Asiago Conifers and Crystalline Elegance
Poli Marconi 46 Italian Gin is a pinnacle of European distillation innovation. Created by the prestigious and historic Poli Distillerie, this signature gin originates specifically in Schiavon, in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. It is categorically classified as a spirit with a completely dry profile, whose extraordinary aromatic delicacy is achieved thanks to Crysopea: the distillery's innovative bain-marie vacuum still under reduced pressure. This sophisticated method allows botanicals to be distilled at very low temperatures, preserving the intact freshness of juniper, mugo pine, Swiss pine, mint, and cardamom. The result is a crystalline, silky spirit, with an enveloping alpine freshness and superb structure.

frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is the specific origin and distillery of this spirit?
This distinguished artisanal gin is produced by the renowned Poli Distillerie. Its specific origin is strictly located in Schiavon, within the province of Vicenza, in the Veneto region, Italy.
Is this spirit dry, semi-dry, or sweet?
Poli Marconi 46 Gin is a rigorously dry spirit. It is completely free of added sugars or sweeteners, delivering the purity and crisp herbaceous character of the world's great dry botanical spirits.
What advantages does Crysopea vacuum distillation offer in this gin?
By distilling under reduced vacuum pressure, alcohol boils at a much lower temperature (around 50°C instead of 78°C). This prevents the most delicate botanicals such as mint and alpine pines from cooking or burning, thus extracting their aromatic essential oils with a clarity and freshness impossible to achieve in a traditional still.
How is a Gin & Tonic with Marconi 46 recommended to be garnished?
To respect and intensify its original coniferous aromatic architecture, it is suggested to garnish it simply with a twist of yellow lemon peel or a sprig of rosemary or fresh mint alongside a neutral premium tonic.
