Blood Oranges from Sicily, Distilled in a Vacuum
Master distillers Beppe Ronco and Denis Muni created this expression around a prized Sicilian blood-orange variety, harvested in November; the fruit's deep red color develops in the cool Mediterranean nights. The peels are steeped in alcohol and pressed in a basket press, then the infusion is blended with Italian juniper, lemon peel, grapefruit peel, angelica root, orris root and coriander, and distilled in a stainless steel vacuum (cold) still — a lower-temperature method that keeps the botanicals fresh and vivid. Malfy's Italian distilling roots trace to a juniper-infused tonic recipe in the "Compendium Salernite," and the brand's inspiration is the Amalfi Coast and "La Dolce Vita." Among gin options, Con Arancia is the one that pours pink-red from the blood orange alone. See the full Malfy collection for the rest of the Italian line.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red, orange-pink in the glass. The aroma is orange blossom with a subtle juniper background. Rich bittersweet citrus on the palate — tart grapefruit balanced by orange sweetness — with raspberry-like notes, crisp citrus-forward flavor and a classic herbal backbone. The finish is long and smooth.
How to Enjoy
Best in a spritz — three parts prosecco, two parts Malfy Con Arancia, one part soda over ice with an orange wheel. It also makes a superb pink gin and tonic with a premium tonic and plenty of ice.
