Cima3 Gin

Cima3 is a fully certified organic gin from Italy's Spirit Italia, where the appeal lies as much in the provenance of the botanicals as the recipe itself. Every ingredient is organically grown, and the bill is kept deliberately simple, juniper berries, lemon peel, coriander and a handful of herbs, distilled to a fresh, easygoing 40% and presented in a gift box that flatters the half-litre bottle.

The nose leads with fresh lemon, coriander's herbal edge and a light juniper base. The palate is smooth and balanced, fruity citrus meeting spicy coriander and herbs that fold neatly into the pine, while the finish stays long and pleasant with a subtle lemon-and-herb freshness. Sip it at room temperature to read the detail, or pour it long into a gin and tonic where its herbal-fruity character opens right up.
