About the winemaker
Elena Spirits is an original line of exceptionally high-quality craft spirits (gin) and fortified wine (vermouth) that combines respect for tradition, local identity and a careful selection of spices and botanicals. Elena spirits continues a long tradition in the production of liqueurs and spirits. Elena's family was already preparing liqueurs, while Alfredo Currado, Luca's father, built on his youthful experience working with the producers of traditional bitters and vermouths in Piedmont.
