Marconi 46 is an Italian gin in which vivid botanical character and mountain freshness meet precise artisanal distillation. It is distilled in small batches using “Crysopea”, the vacuum bain-marie copper pot still created by Jacopo Poli. This method makes it possible to preserve the purity, intensity and long aromatic persistence of the botanicals with exceptional precision. Inspired by the landscape of the Asiago plateau in the Veneto region, from which the Poli family originates, Marconi 46 reflects both alpine freshness and the spirit of Italian distilling culture.
The aromatic core of this gin is built on juniper berries, Muscat grapes, mountain pine, cembra pine, mint, coriander and cardamom. On the nose, intense juniper comes first, followed by fresh, resinous notes of mountain pine and a light touch of mint. The bouquet recalls a wicker basket filled with alpine herbs and freshly picked juniper berries: vibrant and fresh, yet also harmonious and subtly balsamic.
On the palate, Marconi 46 is clean, precise and expressive. Muscat grapes lend it a softer, silky texture, while cardamom and coriander create an elegant, lingering spicy sensation. This is a gin with a very clear identity: intense yet never excessive, fresh yet at the same time deep. Its 46% ABV gives it structure and firmness, allowing it to retain its character beautifully whether enjoyed neat or in cocktails.
We recommend serving it neat in a tumbler, over ice, or using it in classic gin cocktails, where its profile of mountain herbs, juniper and spice can fully unfold. Marconi 46 is well suited to those seeking not a neutral gin, but an Italian gin with a strong sense of origin and a distinctly artisanal distilling style.
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.
