About this product
A Venetian Ode to the Mediterranean.
From the heart of Veneto, Poli Distillerie transforms its century-old mastery of distillation into a gin that speaks of both innovation and heritage. Marconi 42 is not just a gin, but an exploration of the Mediterranean spirit — crisp, aromatic, and full of Italian sunshine. Named after the legendary Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, this gin captures a pioneering spirit while grounding itself in the botanicals of the Venetian landscape.
For gin lovers in Ireland, Marconi 42 offers something new: a premium craft gin that unites Italian artistry with the lively freshness of Mediterranean herbs and citrus.
Why we love it:
Marconi 42 is distinctly Italian — elegant yet vibrant. Its recipe is inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean coastline, bringing together juniper, rosemary, basil, thyme, cardamom, and mint. The result is a gin that feels like a walk through a fragrant Italian garden on a warm summer evening. Perfect for those in Ireland who want a gin that stands apart from the usual London Dry style — refreshing, herbaceous, and undeniably refined.
