Our method
From the union of tradition, innovation and pop culture: this is how every Mezzanotte spirit is born.
Where it all begins: the selection of botanicals
Every recipe starts with a creative spark: a memory, a legend, an image that excites us . From here begins the search for the perfect botanicals. We select the highest quality ingredients, favoring Italian suppliers who share our attention to sustainability and traceability.
From the lab to the bottle
Once the final recipe is created, we produce in small batches. The gins and vodkas come to life in a matter of hours, while the bitters require weeks of infusion and rest. Each bottle is filled, labeled and packaged by hand in our laboratory in Pesaro.
The Magic of the Still: “Percival”
The heart of the distillery is Percival , an electric Aroma 230 Müller made in Germany. This still allows us to work with 100% renewable electricity and to obtain pure, aromatic and environmentally friendly distillates.
We work by hand, checking every phase of the process to guarantee quality and safety ( and we carefully follow the HACCP protocol! ).
Tradition and innovation: classic and "cold" distillation
We combine traditional distillation with the most modern techniques. In addition to the still, we use the Büchi Rotavapor rotary evaporator for "cold" distillation : a technology that allows us to extract delicate and volatile aromas at low temperatures, preserving the freshness of citrus fruits, herbs and flowers.
The result? Spirits with a unique aromatic profile, where every note tells a story.
Artisanal control and safety
Each batch is tested in-house by Alex and Tommaso, using precision Anton Paar instruments and tasting each product before bottling.
Quality control is rigorous and transparent: only what passes our standards reaches your hands .
Personalization and continuous research
We don't limit ourselves to our recipes: we also develop customized recipes and customized packaging for third parties , collaborating with bartenders and venues that share our vision. Our philosophy is to experiment, innovate, tell stories .
A unique philosophy in the panorama of Italian distillation
Our goal is to convey emotions and nostalgia, through products that are authentic, surprising and linked to pop culture. We want every sip to tell a story, just like the worlds that made us dream as children.
