Distilleria dell’Alpe was established in 1948 in Bastia d’Alpago, a small hillside village in the sweeping Cansiglio forest of the eastern Italian Alps. Among the founder Ferruccio de Bernard’s recipes was a unique distillate of terroir, Kapriol liqueur, locally known as Distillato del Bosco (Distillate of the Forest) and the dry Gin Forestal. In 2002, the Beniamino Maschio family, neighbors of de Bernard and historical Grappa producers from the Veneto in Conegliano, acquired Distilleria dell’Alpe, maintaining the legacy of the iconic Kapriol liqueur and in 2016, reviving the Gin Forestal with a new line of contemporary ‘Gin Artigianale Italiano’ under the Kapriol name. The Kapriol DRY Gin remains true to the orginal, reflecting its alpine origins and using no citrus in the recipe.
