Malfy Gin Con Arancia is built around one of Sicily’s most prized ingredients — the blood orange, harvested in November when the cool Mediterranean nights have developed its characteristic rich red colour and intense aromatic depth. Distilled by the Vergnano family using Sicilian blood orange peels steeped in alcohol, pressed in a basket press, and then blended with juniper and six botanicals before distillation in a stainless steel vacuum still, this is a gin of vibrant colour, rich citrus character, and the unmistakable spirit of Italian la dolce vita. Sit back, pour a glass, and do absolutely nothing — dolce far niente.
Appearance
Warm blush with the rich, inviting colour of Sicilian blood orange — distinctive and immediately beautiful in the glass.
Aroma
Rich, vibrant blood orange leads, with juniper providing a classic backbone and the six supporting botanicals adding depth and complexity. The Sicilian provenance of the blood orange is evident in the intensity and aromatic richness of the nose — sun-ripened, cool-night concentrated, and unmistakably Italian.
Palate
Generous and fruit-forward, with the Sicilian blood orange at the centre of a well-balanced and satisfying palate. Juniper provides structure and length, whilst the vacuum distillation process preserves the delicate aromatic character of the blood orange peel in a way that conventional distillation cannot. Rich, smooth, and deeply enjoyable.
Serving Suggestions
Exceptional with premium tonic and a slice of fresh blood orange — simple, vibrant, and exactly right. Outstanding in a classic Negroni, where the blood orange richness adds a compelling Italian depth. Equally enjoyable over ice on a warm afternoon, as nature and the Amalfi lifestyle intended.
