Two young local men have developed a very special gin. Leonardo Vitali and Federico Monterastelli, while sitting at a restaurant in Casoli, decided to conceive and design their own gin.
They didn’t know much about making gin so they studied, researched and took a master distiller course and started experimenting. After testing more than 50 herbs spices to flavour the gin they chose 11, including lemon balm, peppermint, angelica, rose, acacia and licorice for 2 types of gin.
They chose the name Realia for its meaning, authentic things. Every aspect of the production has been thought out carefully by the 2 young men, leaving nothing to chance.
It is possible to taste Realia gin at Bar Roma, La Cantabruna and Tenuta La Fratta farmhouse. Bottles can be purchased at Nonsolovino wine shop in Bagni di Lucca Villa.
It is excellent to see young people doing innovative things in Bagni di Lucca! I wish them success for the future.
