The name of the gin is a tribute from the producer to his grandfather Mário de Lassaleti. The origin of the name comes from Our Lady of La Salette, the invocation given to the Virgin Mary in her appearances on the mountain of La Salette, in the French Alps region. Lassaleti then appeared, a Gin from the mountains of Minas Gerais created in 2020, London Dry Gin bottled only with the HEART OF THE DISTILLATION. 18 FRESH and rigorously selected botanicals: Juniper, Coriander, Pitanga, Licorice, Almonds, Sicilian Lemon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Pink Pepper, Hibiscus, Bahian Orange, Tangerine, Angelica, Pacová, Jamaica Pepper, Lavender and Cucumber. Tasting note: “It has an exotic and interesting aroma, with earthy and herbaceous notes, lots of turmeric and ginger. The palate is quite elegant, quite spicy and not very earthy, with a good amount of juniper and a touch of citrus. It has a lot of character and evolves well on the palate.” GOLD MEDAL IN BRUSSELS 2021 Feedback: “Light color. An explosion of aromas on the nose, showing notes of citrus fruits, lemon, flowers and spices. Notes of juniper, ginger, nuts and allspice. Refreshing and bright, with a range of flavors from citrus to spice. Dry style with a beautiful juniper tone. Well-balanced and smooth texture with an oily touch, perfect harmony and long lasting. Perfect combination of aromas with beautiful balance, soft texture and an incredibly long finish.” The base of a traditional gin is good grain alcohol. Wanting the best, we use alcohol made from corn. We distill the gin in a copper still with steam baskets. Our water is collected from an artesian well in Minas Gerais, ensuring purity and balance for the recipe. Juniper, the main ingredient in GIN, is chosen and imported from Italy and Germany, standardizing our process and certifying the quality of the product. Our protagonist Pitanga added all the necessary Brazilianness with floral and herbaceous notes. Aiming to enhance Brazilian ingredients, we added Pacová, very similar to Cardamom with spicy and refreshing notes. Balancing the aromas we use Bahia Orange, Sicilian Lemon and Tangerine with citrus and floral notes. Finishing with freshness and smoothness, the Lavender and Cucumber were placed in our steam basket, where we delicately incorporated these ingredients into the distillation.
