The label is part of the trend of Gins that aim to claim their uniqueness, highlighting the peculiar characteristics of their place of origin. From the choice of the name, the distillate declares its origin from the area of the Valli Occitane, located in a border area between the Alps and the Ligurian Sea. The bottle perfectly reflects the wild nature of the territory, through a selection of native botanicals that give a particularly fresh, clear, and essential profile.

Bordiga has managed to stand out in the panorama of Italian distillates thanks to the unique and inimitable personality of its products, strongly linked to the Piedmontese lands of the Valli Occitane and to the most ancient traditions of the territory. The founder, Pietro Bordiga, is an an expert in herbalism and has been able to make the most of the rich heritage of plants, herbs, and flowers of the alpine flora. Most of the botanicals, particularly the juniper berries, are hand-picked in the Valli Occitane and processed while still fragrant, in order to extract all the aromatic richness. The distillation is meticulously cared for, to produce a Gin of great freshness and expressive purity.
