Solaro Capri Gin
From: Solaro Capri Gin
With fragrant and heady botanicals from the blue island and surrounding terroir, Solaro is regarded as the most refined gin of Italy and, like Capri itself, you’ll want to go back to again and again.
Each of Solaro Gin’s main Botanicals are sourced from Capri and nearby, within this gorgeous region of Italy and just a short distance of the distillery:
Zagara (lemon blossom) is delicately gathered from Monte Solaro in Capri and gives our gin its inviting aroma while Sun-soaked Red Juniper from nearby Cilento serves as our main botanical.
Amalfi lemon leaf and lemon peel extracts bring a burst of citru and the mystical Mirto (myrtle) berry from Sorrento brings character and hints of 100% Arabica coffee roasted by hand in nearby Napoli.
They have made a gin that is not only incredibly fresh and fragrant but also smooth and hearty. It can be enjoyed neat or accompany your favourite cocktail.
Every handmade ceramic bottle takes a week to make by a family of Italian artisans. The makers have obsessed over every detail to make a gin like no other.

| ABV: | 42% |
|---|---|
| Nose: | Bright, fragrant citrus blossom (zagara) leads, layered with fresh Amalfi lemon peel, subtle aromatic herbs, and a hint of myrtle. The aroma is soft, inviting, and evocative of Capri’s sunlit gardens |
| Palate: | Exceptionally smooth and refined. Vivid citrus and lemon leaf unfold first, followed by the gentle warmth of red juniper and the balmy, herbal character of mirto (myrtle berry). Delicate notes of hand-roasted Arabica coffee from Naples add depth and roundness and a unique, subtle richness. The overall impression is fresh, complex, and harmonious, with a luxurious, Mediterranean profile that is easy to sip neat or in cocktails |
| Finish: | Long, clean, and elegant. The finish lingers with lingering citrus oils, a touch of herbal green, and a soft, creamy mouthfeel. Hints of myrtle and coffee provide a gentle, memorable fade, minimising any bite and leaving a lasting impression of Capri’s vibrant landscape and la dolce vita spirit. |
| Serve: | Neat, G&T, Negroni, or frozen Martini |
