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 begins with a creative spark: a memory, a legend, an image that moves us . From here, the search for the perfect botanicals begins. We select the highest-quality ingredients, favoring Italian suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability and traceability.
From the laboratory to the bottle
Once the final recipe is created, we produce in small batches. The gins and vodkas come to life in just a few hours, while the bitters require weeks of infusion and maturation. 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 still made in Germany. This still allows us to operate with 100% renewable energy and produce pure, aromatic, and environmentally friendly spirits.
We work by hand, checking every stage of the process to ensure 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.
Artisan 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 own recipes: we also develop custom recipes and bespoke packaging for third parties , collaborating with bartenders and venues who share our vision. Our philosophy is to experiment, innovate, and tell stories .
A unique philosophy in the Italian distillation panorama
Our goal is to convey emotion and nostalgia through products that are authentic, surprising, and connected to pop culture. We want every sip to tell a story, just like the worlds we dreamed of as children.
