Alcohol-free spirit

Alcohol-free spirits, as we understand them, are not diluted distillates or products that have been dealcoholized after the fact. They are created through craftsmanship, not by removing or simply replacing ingredients.

Their depth comes from maceration, distillation, and – depending on the recipe – also fermentation. Botanicals, woods, and spices are extracted, distilled, or smoked in several steps until structure and tension are present in the glass: bitterness, acidity, warmth, and length.

This is how spirits with character are created – crafted from herbs, fruits, and wood, not from alcohol. Sometimes earthy and dark, sometimes fresh and citrusy, sometimes dry and spicy. Designed for lasting rituals – and drinks that make a statement.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

The Rubedo is one of our bestsellers, and for good reason. As a deep red orange bitter, it can be used in many ways. In a Negroni, it replaces its mass-produced counterpart (it starts with C, I hope you understand), or with non-alcoholic vermouth as an Americano, or with non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a little lemon as a Spritz (our favorite variant). The Rubedo, with its orange zest, chinotto, and gentian, is so dense and intense, I've rarely met anyone who didn't like it (unless you don't like bitter drinks). At the Falstaff Spirits Award, it achieved the highest rating with 94 points.
