Malfy Originale Gin embodies the rich heritage of Italian distillation, offering a classic dry gin experience with a distinctive Italian flair. Crafted by the Vergnano family at the Torino Distillati distillery in Moncalieri, Piedmont, this gin is a testament to generations of expertise and passion.​
A Heritage Rooted in Tradition
While gin is often associated with 17th-century Holland, Malfy draws inspiration from Italian monks who, as early as 1050, were distilling juniper-based spirits along the Amalfi Coast. This deep-rooted history is reflected in Malfy Originale’s commitment to traditional methods and authentic flavours.​

- Coriander: Adds a subtle spice and complexity.​
- Cassia, Orris, Angelica Root: Contribute to the gin’s depth and balance.​
