Marconi 44 is an Italian gin in which citrus vibrancy meets precise artisanal distillation and a clean, expressive botanical profile. 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 remarkable precision. Marconi 44 reflects a sunny Italian spirit, where Veneto’s distilling tradition meets the energy of citrus fruit and an elegant touch of spice.
The aromatic foundation of this gin is built on juniper berries, peels of pink grapefruit, lemon, bitter orange and sweet orange, as well as coriander and cardamom seeds. On the nose, lively citrus notes emerge first, especially pink grapefruit and sweet orange. The bouquet is bright, fresh, and generous, like a basket filled with freshly picked citrus fruits, with subtle exotic spices in the background.
On the palate, Marconi 44 is clean and energetic. Lemon brings freshness and lightness, while juniper and bitter orange peel create a deeper, more structured core. In the finish, an elegant touch of cardamom and coriander adds a gentle spicy layer to the palate. Its 44% alcohol content gives the gin firmness and clear structure without overwhelming its aromatic clarity.
We recommend serving it neat, in a low tumbler, over ice, or using it in classic cocktails. Marconi 44 is especially suited to those looking not for a neutral gin, but for an expressive Italian style with vivid citrus character, a clean taste, and the refined mark of artisanal distillation.
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.
