Ginacria – the baptism of Nysura Distillery – is the culmination of the research of Dario Rinaldi and his inquiring mind, who in this gin aims to condense his experience as an agronomist, respect for the rhythms of nature, attention to innovation and his love for Sicily.
Ginacria – created from a careful selection of hand-harvested botanicals from Mount Etna’s steep slopes to the fertile plains of Catania. The citrus notes of lemon and orange, the aromatic echos of licorice root, along with the unique aroma of false pepper make for a balanced and intriguing blend with Mediterranean character.
Ginacria is obtained using cold distillation, a state-of-the-art method which enables us to preserve the integrity of the most delicate botanicals, such as orange and lemon blossom. Ginacria is a blend of thoughts. The recipe – developed in collaboration with a London company specialized in cold distillation.
The image and name – an idea of the artist Mariagrazia Pontorno.

In the shade of the Etna volcano, fed by the heat of the lava and the ash of the lapilli, a mythological juniper thrives, the basic and only botanical ingredient of Hemisphaerica. The carefully picked and selected generous and sacred berries of Juniperus communis, playing a lively and spontaneous solo – a timbre of the native Sicilian subspecies: hemisphaerica.
Our gin’s special balsamic, wild, resinous smell is captured in all its fullness by cold distillation. Hemisphaerica, at its best in cocktails where gin is the main ingredient, can also be enjoyed straight to allow full appreciation of its silkiness and persistence to linger in one’s mouth.
