Rosemary and thyme add warm, Mediterranean accents, lending depth and character to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, this gin is intense and clearly structured. The juniper note forms the firm backbone, surrounded by aromatic herbs with plenty of spirit.

Production of Marconi 42 Gin by Jacopo Poli

Marconi 42 Gin - Jacopo Poli comes from Veneto in northern Italy, a region with a long tradition of spirits and distilling craftsmanship. The base is a high-quality neutral spirit that serves as a carrier for the selected botanicals. Mediterranean herbs take center stage: basil, mint or lemon balm, rosemary and thyme. These ingredients bring their regional character directly into the distillate.

The botanicals are initially steeped in the alcohol so that they can release their delicate oils and aromas. This is followed by careful distillation in traditional copper stills. This gentle process produces a high degree of purity and allows the aromatic profile to be controlled precisely. The distillers at Jacopo Poli take care to use only the best middle cut. The result is a clear, expressive gin distillate with a pronounced herbal character.

The Poli house style is based on artisanal precision, extensive experience and authentic regional character. For generations, the Poli family has been involved in distillation and aroma extraction. This knowledge is also evident in the fine balance of the herbs in this gin. Juniper provides the framework, while the Mediterranean botanicals contribute their lively, green freshness. Citrusy elements round out the overall profile and bring lightness to the distillate.

The gin is deliberately matured without contact with wood in order to preserve its bright herbal freshness. After distillation, the gin rests so that the aromas can settle and combine into a harmonious whole. It is then adjusted to 42% ABV with pure water. Each batch leaves the distillery only after strict sensory evaluation. This preserves the characteristic Poli house style and the spirit of Veneto in every bottle.

Serving recommendations for Marconi 42 Gin by Jacopo Poli

Marconi 42 Gin - Jacopo Poli reveals its character ideally when lightly chilled, at around 10 to 12 degrees. A wide tumbler provides the right setting. A large, clear ice cube slows dilution and keeps the drink fresh for a long time. Those who enjoy the gin neat will experience its full herbal richness, with pronounced mint, basil, rosemary and thyme alongside its clear juniper base.

As a Gin & Tonic, this gin is particularly intriguing. A dry, rather restrained tonic water works very well, as it does not obscure the herbal aromas. A garnish of fresh basil leaf and a sprig of thyme brings out the Mediterranean character in the glass. Alternatively, a twist of lemon or grapefruit enhances the drink and highlights its fresh nuances.

For a Mediterranean Gin Fizz, combine gin with fresh lemon juice, a touch of sugar syrup and sparkling water. Served over ice in a tumbler, this creates a lively, flavor-packed long drink reminiscent of a warm evening on the Adriatic. A Negroni-style drink with Italian bitter liqueur, sweet vermouth and this gin is also exceptionally charming. The herbal structure pairs wonderfully with bitter orange and vermouth spice.

This gin pairs very well with light dishes. Antipasti with olives, marinated vegetables, bruschetta with tomato and basil, or mild goat cheese make suitable partners. The herbs in the gin echo the flavors of the dishes and enhance the Mediterranean atmosphere. Served as an aperitif before an Italian dinner or as an accompaniment to an evening at the bar, it creates a harmonious overall experience.

As a gift, this gin makes a lasting impression on anyone who appreciates richly aromatic, distinctive spirits. In a home bar, it is a versatile base for drinks with an Italian touch. Whether in a classic Gin & Tonic, a refined signature cocktail or neat over ice: Marconi 42 Gin - Jacopo Poli reveals its clear, Mediterranean personality in every variation.
