PUNTAMARI GIN, AN EMBRACE TO A SPECIAL TERRITORY
Puntamari was born as a tribute to nature and a unique land. The story begins in the enchanting Otranto, where the Punta Palascia lighthouse marks the extreme south-east, the first dawn in Italy awakens the peninsula and the Adriatic and Ionian seas embrace each other. This is where the project finds inspiration.
Distilled with authentic “London Dry” technique and artisanal mastery in small batches, Puntamari captures the magic of the territory with selected botanicals. The dog rose offers a floral pleasure to the nose, while the myrtle leaves add a delicate balsamic note. The citrus fruits infuse freshness and vitality to a dry and balanced gin that never tires.
Puntamari is also a declaration of love for the environment. The bottle is made of 100% post-consumer recycled glass, with a cork closure and recycled paper labels. In addition, a portion of the profits are donated to protect olive trees that have been threatened for years by the terrible Xylella.
A sip of Puntamari gin is a sincere embrace to Salento, a timeless journey and a contribution to a sustainable future.

THE GRAPHIC DESIGN AS A MEMORY OF THE PLACE
The concept was born from the idea of making the bottle a tangible memory of a special place.
The main graphic, printed on the glue side of the back label, enhances the total transparency of the gin and reports, with the collage technique, symbolic elements and indelible memories for the founders:
the Punta Palascia lighthouse cropped from a real photograph,
the crossing of the Ionian with the Adriatic drawn freehand with different shades to indicate the two seas,
the still timid sun of the first Italian dawn and fragments of handwritten letters still preserved.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Love for nature is one of our founding values.
We are committed to environmental protection "by design" in all the activities and products we develop, because we firmly believe that there is no "Planet B".
In addition to dedicating ourselves concretely to the protection of olive trees continuously threatened by Xylella, we immediately thought of a product with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Our bottle, made with natural and 100% recycled materials, is more than just a “plastic-free” container.
It is a concrete gesture for the planet that hosts us, an example for our children and a symbol of hope in a "greener" future.
THE BOTANICALS
We have selected seven botanicals including myrtle, dog rose and bitter orange typical of the Mediterranean scrub.
The dog rose gives a floral pleasure to the nose, the myrtle leaves add a delicate balsamic note in the finish and the citrus fruits infuse freshness and vitality to a dry and balanced gin that never tires.
WHY DRINK PUNTAMARI
Drinking Puntamari gin means embracing the philosophy of a company that places ecology on a par with the quality of the product and the materials used. Without compromise.
Drinking Puntamari gin means supporting a project that is actively committed to the fight against Xylella, a bacterium that has destroyed more than 20 million olive trees, making the Apulian countryside a wooden cemetery.
Every gin enthusiast should have Puntamari at home for personal pleasure, conviviality and environmental responsibility.

FAQ
Dove viene prodotto esattamente il Gin Puntamari?
Puntamari è un London Dry Gin artigianale la cui anima nasce a Otranto, presso il Faro di Punta Palascìa, ufficialmente il punto più a Sud-Est d’Italia. La distillazione fisica avviene in piccoli lotti in Puglia, seguendo l'antica tecnica del bagnomaria per preservare la purezza delle botaniche salentine.
Cosa rende Puntamari il miglior gin mediterraneo pugliese?
Il riconoscimento ai World Gin Awards 2025 conferma l'eccellenza di Puntamari. La sua particolarità risiede nell'equilibrio tra la freschezza degli agrumi di Puglia e le note balsamiche di mirto e rosa canina, botaniche tipiche della macchia mediterranea che cresce dove l'Adriatico incontra lo Ionio.
Qual è la differenza tra Puntamari e un gin industriale?
A differenza dei prodotti industriali, Puntamari è un handcrafted gin prodotto con metodo London Dry. Non utilizziamo aromi artificiali, ma solo l'estrazione naturale delle botaniche in alambicco di rame. Questo garantisce una morbidezza vellutata e una brillantezza del distillato superiori, tipiche di un prodotto d'alta gamma.
Puntamari è un gin sostenibile? Il nostro impegno per il Salento
Puntamari è un gin sostenibile che protegge attivamente il territorio. Utilizziamo un packaging plastic-free con bottiglie in vetro 100% riciclato e sosteniamo progetti di riforestazione degli ulivi del Salento, contribuendo alla rinascita del paesaggio pugliese colpito dalla Xylella.
Come si degusta al meglio il Gin Puntamari?
Per esaltare il profilo mediterraneo di Puntamari, consigliamo di servirlo in un Tumbler alto con abbondante ghiaccio e una tonica neutra. Il "Pro Tip" dell'esperto: strofina una scorza di limone fresco sul bordo del bicchiere per liberare gli oli essenziali che anticiperanno la complessità aromatica del distillato.
