The company stands out for its production of gin, rum, distillates, and grappa that capture the authenticity of the Dolomites, using local ingredients to convey the very essence of this magnificent mountain region. On stage, Florian explained with great charm and expertise the products that Zu Plun works on daily: Dol Gin, with its botanicals from the Dolomites, is a true tribute to the beauty and natural richness of this territory. Similarly, Yellow Gin, enriched with the scents of Garda lemons, offers a fresh and lively interpretation of the classic gin, while Grenoir, utilizing pomegranate, delivers fruity and enveloping notes. Finally, Salz Gin, with its touch of salt and oysters, transports the consumer directly to the Dolomites&#8217; coasts, offering a unique and unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/themakersclub.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCF2401-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4025\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themakersclub.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCF2401-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/themakersclub.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCF2401-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/themakersclub.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCF2401-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/themakersclub.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCF2401-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/themakersclub.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCF2401.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos from the event &#8220;The Essence of Craft&#8221;, May 12, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The artisanal tradition of the Dolomites is a fundamental element for Zu Plun, which is committed to preserving and enhancing this centuries-old heritage.
