Gin Porta di Prada Como Lake Label Edition GP05

The spirit that connects the Lake and the Mountains.
Gin Porta di Prada is the spirit that connects the Lake and the Mountains, a contemporary reinterpretation of an ancient secret recipe from 1966. It is the first distillate ever to receive the “Lago di Como” label, being entirely created on the territory, from recipe to production. Made with the purest water sourced from one of the highest springs in Europe, at 1935 meters above sea level in Alta Valsassina, this London Dry Gin is a true tribute to the landscape and local tradition. On the nose, it releases elegant notes of lavender and bergamot, intense yet harmonious. On the palate, the wild, woody character of juniper blends with the delicate tones of lavender and dog rose; bergamot peel adds a lively citrus freshness, while the finish is soft and persistent, with a floral-sweet note of rhododendron honey. Each bottle is a collectible item: 8 label variants are available, each featuring an original photograph and adorned with an official C.A.M.P. rope and carabiner, a tribute to the alpine soul of the project.

The GP05 label captures the Burnt Larch, locally known as Lares Bruàa, a centuries-old tree that stands on the ridge between Valsassina and Val Marcia. In this winter shot, framed by its branches, one can glimpse the imposing silhouette of Pizzo dei Tre Signori, rising to 2554 meters. The Larèes Brusca, as it’s called in the local dialect, can be found at about 1700 meters above sea level, halfway between Pian delle Betulle and Rifugio Ombrega. It can be reached on foot or by mountain bike, passing a small chapel dedicated to fallen Alpini soldiers and continuing uphill toward Cima di Olino, where the tree appears on the left just before the summit.
