Gin description
Antonio Levarin, known as Toni, soldier of the Royal Italian Navy during the First World War, on occasion of a rare event of pacification between the Italian army and the Austro-Hungarian army happens to taste for the first time the gin, brought to celebrate by a fellow soldier British army. Such was the wonder for the distillate that at the end of the conflict Toni stopped building mines - which, exploding at night, illuminated the water, hence the name of Gin Aqva Lvce - and began to build stills and to distill gin in secret. Thanks to his friend Luigi it was possible to find and recreate one of Toni's recipes, from which the gin Aqva Lvce was born.
