Made by the same hands
Sharing the iconic Ligurian botanicals of Portofino Dry Gin, Portofino Botanical Spirit reinterprets the Portofino recipe with new, authentic marine inspirations: vacuum-distilled seaweed, Mediterranean Sea water, and fresh coastal plants.
Mid-strength spirit
At 20% alc./vol., approximately half the alcohol of a traditional gin, Portofino Botanical Spirit: Light Edition is crafted for those who seek lightness without giving up the quality and aromatic complexity of a Portofino spirit. A conscious choice, not a compromise.
From brunch to after dinner
For those who know and love the Portofino world and seek a lighter expression for the right moment. Eight signature cocktails to explore, from the simplicity of a Portofino Light & Tonic to the depth of a Martini in Riviera.
The Sea as the Protagonist
The idea behind Portofino Botanical Spirit: Light Edition comes from looking at the sea not just as a backdrop, but as an ingredient. Vacuum-distilled seaweed and water from the Italian Mediterranean Sea anchor the botanical recipe, surrounded by 25 botanicals inspired by the scents of the Ligurian coast. A spirit that carries the character of a coastline that has always defined Portofino's identity.
The bottle tells that story visually: the bay of San Fruttuoso on the label, and the silhouette of KLABAMO, the historic sailboat of the Pudel family, sailing across every bottle as a symbol of craftsmanship, authenticity and a deep bond with the sea.

Questions about
Portofino Botanical Spirit
At the heart of the recipe: vacuum-distilled seaweed and water from the Italian Mediterranean Sea. The spirit includes a selection of 25 botanicals inspired by the scents of Liguria, including juniper, lemon, lavender, thyme, hyssop, achillea, iris and mint. The most delicate plants are processed fresh, through slow vacuum distillation at low temperatures to preserve their aromatic integrity.
Portofino Botanical Spirit: Light Edition is a mid-strength gin-based spirit at 20% alc./vol. It reinterprets the aromatic heritage inspired by our original Portofino recipe with a fresh, savoury and mediterranean character, drawing on new authentic marine inspirations: vacuum-distilled seaweed, Mediterranean Sea water, and fresh coastal botanicals. A modern take on the same territory, crafted for new occasions.

For those who know and love the Portofino world and seek a lighter expression for the right moment: a long lunch, an aperitivo that lingers, an evening in the ritual of drinking well without overdoing it. The taste of Portofino, at a more measured strength, whenever the occasion calls for it.
Yes, and it is a particularly rewarding way to discover the spirit. Over a large piece of ice, the aromatic complexity of the 25 botanicals opens up clearly: marine, savoury, with the fresh notes of lemon, thyme and lavender from the Ligurian coast. A simple serve that lets the spirit speak.
