A different moment.
Born from the same tradition

20% vol. — by design
At 20% vol., the Botanical Spirit is crafted for those moments when alcohol content matters: a lunch, a long aperitivo, an evening where you want to stay in the ritual of drinking well without overdoing it. 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. Aperitivo, lunch, brunch, dinner, after dinner — the taste of Portofino, at a more measured strength, whenever the occasion calls for it.
San Fruttuoso,
reachable only by sea
A small cove nestled in the Portofino headland, watched over by a 10th-century Benedictine abbey and the Christ of the Abyss — the bronze statue resting on the seabed. Accessible only by boat or on foot, San Fruttuoso inspired the soul of this spirit: earned, intentional, unforgettable.
KLABAMO.
Our grandfather's sailboat.
KLABAMO is the sailboat that belonged to the founders' grandfather — a vessel that embodies the values passed down through generations: craftsmanship, authenticity, and a deep bond with the sea. Its silhouette sails across every label of Portofino Botanical Spirit.

Questions about
Botanical Spirit
25 botanicals — including juniper, seaweed (vacuum-distilled), lemon, lavender, thyme, hyssop, achillea, iris and mint — distilled with water from the Italian Mediterranean Sea. The most delicate plants are processed fresh, through slow distillation at low temperatures to preserve every subtle coastal note.
By design. The Botanical Spirit is crafted for longer moments — a slow lunch, a long aperitivo, a dinner without losing focus — where a full-strength spirit can feel out of place. At 20% vol., it carries the full Portofino botanical character in a more measured, food-friendly form.
No. Portofino Botanical Spirit is a lower-alcohol distilled spirit at 20% vol., crafted with 25 botanicals — including juniper, seaweed, lavender, thyme, iris and mint — and Italian Mediterranean Sea water. Born from the same tradition as Portofino Dry Gin, it is a modern take on the same territory, crafted for different occasions: lighter, more measured, and designed to be enjoyed from brunch to after dinner.
Portofino Dry Gin is 43% vol. — classic, aromatic, floral and citrusy. The Botanical Spirit is 20% vol. — marine, savoury and lighter. They share the same tradition and Ligurian inspiration, and carry some of the same botanicals, but serve entirely different moments: the Dry Gin for cocktails and gifting, the Botanical Spirit for longer, more convivial occasions in the ritual of drinking well.
The simplest serve is over ice with Mediterranean tonic water and a lemon peel — the Portofino Light & Tonic. It also works beautifully in a Spritz, a Sour, or a twist on a Negroni. See our eight signature cocktails above for inspiration across every occasion, from brunch to after dinner.
Yes. At 20% vol., it's far more approachable on the rocks than a full-strength spirit. You'll find a clean, savoury, slightly marine finish with botanical complexity — pleasant on its own, and even better over a large piece of ice.
Brunch, lunch, aperitivo, dinner, after dinner — any moment where you want to stay in the ritual of drinking well without overdoing it. It's designed for the hybrid consumer who loves flavour and quality but adapts their alcohol intake to the moment: a working lunch, a long meal, an afternoon on the water.
