COLLESI LIMONCELLO
Fresh and balanced, Collesi Limoncello is a liqueur born from the infusion of the best Italian lemons. Collesi Limoncello is produced with the best Italian lemons that, after careful selection, are infused in alcohol for 2 months in steel tanks where the product assumes the typical taste and color of limoncello. It’s a fresh and delightfully pleasant product to drink. Collesi Limoncello is a real treat after a meal, a refreshing and delicious digestif perfect for summer evenings.
COLLESI ORANGE CUVÉE
The excellence of the liqueur culture. Born from a blend of the best Italian oranges, Collesi Orange Cuvee is a liqueur with a strong personality and a base of sweet and bitter orange peels and alcohol. This liqueur ages in oak barrels, where it acquires the softness and that unique character that distinguishes it. Presented in the iconic Collesi glass bottle metallized with a copper-colored mirror effect, it is an excellent base for cocktails but can also be enjoyed straight or cold with ice.
COLLESI BRANDY
Strong and precious, XO Collesi is an Italian Brandy, entirely distilled from Verdicchio wine using an alembic bain-marie distillation method. The winning card of this product is undoubtedly its long artisanal process: 13 years of aging in a Limousin Oak barrel, where it passed as Conero red wine for at least 2 years. For these reasons, we recommend tasting the Collesi Brandy in a large glass and drinking it straight, preferably, as any ice will alter its characteristics.
COLLESI VODKA
Clear, harmonious, with highly selected ingredients for a vodka that captivates with its character. An elegant blend of superior quality grain, grapes and fine wines mixed with the absolute pureness of the water that flows from Monte Nerone. The artisanal process is as slow and articulated as a ritual. The alcohol undergoes intensive refrigeration for 56 hours, gradually being brought back to above zero so it can then be filtered up to 8 times.
COLLESI GIN
The secret behind Collesi Gin is in the excellence and variety of its ingredients. The purest water from Monte Nerone, the best barley grown in the Collesi estates and as many as seven different types of botanicals: above all, the precious juniper berries typical of the Apennine Mountains and also, the sweetest visciole sour cherries from the Marche region, hops, wild roses, walnut shells and peels from Italian oranges and lemons. The botanicals, expertly dosed, are left to infuse in a pure grain alcohol base. The infusion is then diluted with Monte Nerone water and then refrigerated at -15°C for at least 30 hours, filtered, bottled and then left to age in the dark for 4 long months.
AMARILLO HOP GIN
The high quality juniper berries typical of the Apennine Mountains, the crystal waters of Monte Nerone and, to give it a personal and unmistakable note, the Amarillo—an American variety of hop with particular aromatic qualities. The other botanicals used are grapefruit zest and orange zest. The ingredients are left to infuse in a pure-grain alcohol base. The infusion, diluted with water from Monte Nerone, is then refrigerated at -15°C for at least 30 hours, filtered and bottled.
BARREL RESERVE GIN
This golden and elegant gin has undergone a patient aging process and is obtained from a selection of raw materials of excellence. Barley grown in the Collesi estates, the purest water from Monte Nerone and seven different botanicals: juniper berries, visciole sour cherries from Marche with their sweet and juicy pulp, wild rose and Italian lemon and orange zest. The ingredients, artistically calibrated, are left to infuse in a pure-grain alcohol base. The infusion, diluted with Monte Nerone water, is then refrigerated at -15°C for at least 30 hours, filtered and aged in barrels for a year.
SAAZ HOP GIN
The strong personality of this gin derives from the Saaz hop, a noble variety originating from the Czech Republic famous for its delicate spice and herbal aroma. The ingredients, all accurately selected, include rosemary, mint and precious juniper berries, mixed with the purest water from Monte Nerone. The botanicals, carefully dosed, are left to infuse in a pure-grain alcohol base. The infusion is then later diluted with Monte Nerone water, refrigerated at -15°C for at least 30 hours, filtered and bottled.
PINK GIN COLLESI
Collesi Pink Gin unleashes the variety of all the botanicals infused in its preparation, providing a unique sensory experience. A melodious and surprising harmony of accents that evokes the nature of which it is born. It’s an alternative gin that intelligently expresses a fusion of Collesi Gin with the deliciousness of strawberries for a taste that’s sweet and intense. The infusion is diluted with Monte Nerone water and then refrigerated at -15°C for at least 30 hours, filtered, bottled and then left to age in the dark for 4 long months.
DRY GIN
Collesi Dry Gin is based on an ancient recipe. Raw materials are skilfully distilled in a bain-marie, using the discontinuous steam method, where the head and tail are eliminated, in order to isolate the heart, which is rich in the fragrances that clearly identity the botanicals used. After the distillation phase, the gin is left to rest for at least 6 months in steel silos, after which the desired proof is obtained by adding the purest water from Mount Nerone, refrigerated to -8°C for at least 36 hours in order to eliminate all the essential oils from distillation and give the spirit its clean characteristics. The gin is then filtered 5 times before being bottled.
LACRIMA GRAPPA
Its fermented marc comes from the prestigious red grapes in Lacrima di Morro d’Alba from the Marche region, characterized for their high acidity and medium sugar content. It is distilled using the discontinuous bain-marie method, which fully expresses the rich floral nuances that make this unaged grappa so unique and a product of absolute excellence.
BRUNELLO GRAPPA
A precious grappa obtained from the fresh pomace of Sangiovese red grapes. Characterized by its small fruit, this grape is the same one used for high quality wines such as Brunello di Montalcino. The bain-marie distillation method keeps this unforgettable grappa’s rich aromas intact.

The unaged, unmistakable and precious grappa of this noble wine maintains the extraordinarily harmonious and balanced character that has made it famous all over the world.

The discontinuous distillation process using the bain-marie method enhances the nuances of the flavor and fragrance of this unaged grappa full of delicate emotions.
GRAPPA BARRIQUE-AGED
A precise selection of Montepulciano, originating from vineyards in the Marche region, is distilled using a bain-marie method with discontinuous steam.
