About Villa Ascenti Gin

Villa Ascenti is Diageo's first Italian gin, launched in 2019 alongside the opening of the new Destilleria Santa Vittoria in Santa Vittoria, Piedmont. The gin is named after the production site itself, which has been linked to spirits production for centuries.

History & Background

Master distiller Lorenzo Rosso, an established figure at Diageo, has been in charge of the Italian distillery since 2019. Villa Ascenti marked the first time an Italian gin joined the international drinks giant's portfolio. Distillation takes place on a refurbished 1970 Frilli copper still.

Production & Style

Rosso works with local producers and farmers from north-western Piedmont to craft the gin, which is based on Moscato grapes - the region's most classic and widely grown white grape variety - combined with local aromatic herbs and Tuscan juniper.

Signature Style

Floral, Fruity, Elegant
The taste offers the Moscato grape's characteristic floral sweetness, combined with juniper and herbs, giving a light, elegant Italian style.
