Gino D’Acampo partners with Ginato Gin

Ginato Italian Gin has partnered with Italian chef and TV personality Gino D’Acampo in a tie-up involving pairing Ginato with Italian food.

The Ginato range, which was developed and distributed in the UK and internationally by Kirker Greer Spirits, is produced using Pinot Grigio grapes selected from the region of Friuli in the north of Italy and uses juniper sourced from Tuscany and citrus from southern Italy.

The variants within the portfolio, all of which are bottled at 43% ABV, include the original Classico Pinot Grigio Gin, Ginato Melograno (Pomegranate), Ginato Clementino (Clementine orange), and Ginato Pompelmo (Pink grapefruit).

D’Acampo said: “My homeland has always shaped not only the way I cook but also what I eat and drink. Italians have a passion for great quality produce, and this is everything that Ginato Gin embodies. It is important for me to work with brands that are authentic and complement my style of food. Ginato Gin is an interesting concept, especially with the addition of the Pinot Grigio grape. This innovation as well as the superb taste is what attracted me to working with the brand.”

Steven Pattison, CEO of Drinksology Kirker Greer added: “The Ginato range encapsulates a true Italian spirit and without a doubt, Gino D’Acampo is the perfect fit for the brand. Having the calibre of Gino D’Acampo join us at Ginato, with his expert knowledge of Italian flavour and ingredients, it is a really exciting time for the development of the brand. We can’t wait to share his great enthusiasm for Ginato Gin and his love of everything Italian with consumers across the UK in the coming months and years ahead.’’

As part of the partnership, D’Acampo will also begin working with the team to develop new Ginato Gin variants and releases over the coming years.

D’Acampo, who was born and raised in Naples where he inherited his grandfather’s love and passion for cooking, developed his culinary skills in Italy before moving to London. He now presents and participates in many UK prime-time TV shows including: This Morning, and Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip and also owns and operates several restaurants across England.

Ginato Italian Gin has recently launched in over 22 countries including UK, Ireland, Germany, France, The Netherlands, South Africa and Singapore.
