Gin Scriptorium
Scriptorium is the gin that wants to represent the Marche and the art of the distillers monks. 18 The botanicals selected from the territory, which grow from the peaks of the mountains to the paths of the Marche coast. From the juniper of the Sibillini, the helichrysum, olive leaves, the lime tree, the fragrant verbena. A journey through the senses and landscapes of the Marche.
Lorenzo Castricini is a bartender passionate about everything that has a history linked to its origins. For this reason, after over 10 years of experience, even outside the confines of birth, he decides to dedicate his creation to the lands of his childhood. It starts from the knowledge of the ancients, from the monks who transcribed the manuscripts in the Scriptorium, adjacent to the libraries of the monastery. Many of which were devoted to herbs, their study, preparation and distillation techniques. A timeless knowledge of the highest value.
Scriptorium
Scriptorium - Corridonia - Macerata
A place of silence and dedication, which we could call the treasure chest that preserved knowledge in past centuries, located in monasteries generally communicating with the library. In this room, lit by skylights, the amanuensis, mostly monks, were busy copying manuscripts. In the other rooms of the monasteries, the monks occupied their time studying and researching plants and herbs, refining their distillation techniques to produce aromatic liqueurs prized throughout Europe.
"My experience behind the counter is now decades. Curiosity and the desire to do things have also led me to work outside the Marche region, in environments where I have been able to delve into the world of mixing and distillates. In particular, I have always been fascinated by those distillates that represent a place, a history, a legend. This is in fact what I wanted to bring back into Scriptorium Gin: Le Marche, my homeland.'
