Marconi 42 is an Italian gin in which the freshness of Mediterranean coastal herbs meets precise artisanal distillation. This gin is distilled in small batches using “Crysopea”, the vacuum bain-marie still created by Jacopo Poli. This method allows the purity, intensity, and long aromatic persistence of its botanicals to be preserved with exceptional precision. Inspired by the sun, warmth, and sea breeze of the Italian landscape, Marconi 42 expresses not the freshness of the mountains, but the southern, aromatic character of Mediterranean vegetation.
The aromatic foundation of this gin is built on juniper berries, rosemary, mint, basil, thyme, cardamom, and coriander. On the nose, it first reveals the impression of sun-warmed herbs and coastal freshness, with rosemary, basil, thyme, and mint standing out most clearly. The bouquet recalls a handful of aromatic plants rubbed between the palms: intense, fresh, green, yet harmonious and remarkably clean.
On the palate, Marconi 42 is precise, dry, and expressive. Juniper gives it depth and balance, while its herbal profile unfolds in layers, rolling across the palate like waves. In the finish, an elegant spicy nuance of coriander, cardamom, and fennel emerges, adding further vibrancy and a long-lasting aromatic echo. Its 42% alcohol content gives the gin a clear structure while preserving its clarity and lightness of flavour.
We recommend serving it neat, in a low tumbler, over ice, or using it in classic cocktails. It pairs particularly well with a Mediterranean-style tonic. Marconi 42 is especially suited to those looking not for a neutral gin, but for a herbal, fresh, and distinctly Italian expression in which artisanal distillation meets the character of Mediterranean botanicals.
Poli Distillerie – A Legacy of Italian Grappa Passion Since 1898
It all began in 1898, when straw hat maker GioBatta Poli, driven by a passion for grappa, built a small still and began visiting local winemakers to distill the leftover grape pomace after winemaking. What started as a modest hobby soon became a family tradition, carried on by his sons and now passionately upheld by his grandson, Jacopo Poli – one of Italy’s most renowned modern grappa producers.
Craftsmanship and an Unwavering Commitment to Quality
At the Poli distillery, located in the Veneto region, five core principles guide every aspect of production:
Only fresh, healthy raw material is used – delivered daily in quantities that can be processed immediately.
The pomace is distilled without delay – never stored.
Distillation is performed using traditional copper stills and historical methods.
Every step is carried out with dedication and true craftsmanship.
Deep respect is shown to both the product and the consumer.
A Taste That Speaks for Itself
These principles enable the Poli family to produce grappas of remarkable quality – from soft and floral to more intense expressions rich in spice and fruit notes. Poli grappas and liqueurs are recognized and celebrated around the world, proudly featured on the menus of top-tier restaurants. They stand as a true symbol of Italian distilling artistry.
