Viere Hante Tzoa Gin
Summary Viere Hänte Gin Tzòa is an artisanal distilled gin from the small Viere Hänte distillery in Lessinia, Verona, Veneto, northern Italy. Tzòa (meaning "two" in the ancient Cimbrian language) is the second chapter in their story, paying tribute to Lessinia and its Cimbri heritage. Hand-picked local botanicals (twenty in total, including service tree, chestnut, orange, hawthorn, elderflower, linden, and others) are distilled with care to create a complex, elegant, and smooth spirit at 40% ABV. Splendidly crystalline and imperious on the nose, it's versatile for classic gin & tonic, martinis, or neat to appreciate its depth—perfect for those seeking Italian craftsmanship with alpine herbal soul.
