Hung & Up
green aromatic drink
The unique essences of Antonella Bondi meet the quality of the products Ancient Quaglia Distillery to give life to a line made up of four unique products built to give an unforgettable sensorial experience.
A unique experiment for one drink experience unexpected and with surprising olfactory nuances.
IL GENTILE – APERITIF
A base composed of a bouquet of orange blossom, bitter orange, dog rose, Turkish rose, Crispa mint from Piedmont, grapefruit for a total of 32 aromatic notes.
A sip of The Gentile it takes us directly into those perfect moments; it leads us between flower fields and citrus groves. The essences of both spread in the air, breathe and become harmony to the mind and palate.
In the mouth it is extremely fine, clear, not too persistent: it disappears with class, remaining faithful to its nature of courteous excellence.
It tells of a fertile nature of fertile territories but which express all their strength through sweet, aromatic, subtle nuances. Thus, they become elegant, fragrant, light yet lively.
L' ALLEGRO – LIQUEUR
Inspired by a ratafià, this liqueur leads intensely to a Mediterranean different from any possible stereotype: not the sunny, suffocating, even excessive one of the chaotic and crowded summer, of the heat that dries out all strength. If anything, imagine a beautiful day at the end of winter in Southern Italy, perhaps on the Sorrento Peninsula: the air is clear, clean, vivid; you can breathe sweet and citrus notes, soft, harmonious, lively but slender.
This is the aromatic spectrum on which it plays The Allegro, created by accompanying the main notes of Sorrento orange with those of vanilla, mace, cinnamon, clove, ginger, cedar, lemon, black pepper, spiced biscuits, cocoa.
On the nose it is delicate, recalling mandarin; however, the tasting fully reveals an adult citrus fruit, refined, absolutely not aggressive yet well structured, therefore balanced, sweet, sweet and sparkling, just like the atmosphere we have just described.
The alcoholic complexity is also balanced, with notes perfectly in tune. Long and very clean closure.
IL VIVACE – GIN
A base of juniper berries with intense aromatic notes of PGI Sorrento lemons for a delicate hint of Italian coastal
Vivace is a gin with a strong Mediterranean soul. Its core is made up of the happy encounter between a very fine alcoholic component and the aromatic one, in which Sorrento PGI lemon and juniper dominate, in turn enriched and refined by many secondary components: ambrette, zedoaria, bergamot, clary sage , mandarin, Sorrento orange, grapefruit, bitter orange and elderberry.
The result is an intense but fresh gin, with salty and mineral notes that marry citrus ones, in an even sensual combination. It is the essence of the sea, to be drunk pure, mixed or - extraordinary - by pouring a few drops on an oyster.
The Vivace takes you into the middle of an impetuous, almost furious Mediterranean: the waves slap the rocks, the air fills with salt, the wind sweeps the nearby citrus groves, so the notes of iodine that reach the nose are joined by those of the lemon.
We could be in front of the Sorrento Peninsula, for the typical nuances of orange and lemon but also between Scylla and Charybdis, on the Strait of Messina, between the waves of the two warring seas.
THE SURPRISING – BITTER
Think of a Mediterranean port, where the scents of East and West, the aromas of North and South converge.
We are in Trieste. On the one hand the toasted notes of coffee, which are at home here; on the other the fresh-bitter from the gentian that comes down from the nearby Alps; and again, this time the nuances of citrus fruits arrive from the South, while those of spices come from the East.
Being able to find a perfect point of flavor balance between all these components would be... surprising. And in fact this is called Surprising adult bitter, with great personality. It is characterized by the subtle roasted aroma of coffee which meets, on a bitter base, the notes of mandarin, gentian, sweet orange, quassio, ginger, cedar, plus the essences of toasted coffee, espresso and dark chocolate.
The result is "naked", almost erotic; at once straight and enveloping, soft, sinuous. The bitter notes blend with the alcoholic ones and these with the aromatic counterpoints that give on the sweet, with a pinch of acidity. Can sharp velvet exist? Yes: it's Amazing.
