STORY AND VISION

From seeking the purest botanicals to exploring the wildest lands.

Born from the dream of creating gin with exclusively wild botanicals, Selvatiq has evolved into a global mission: to bring the pure essence of the planet's most untamed lands into your glass.

It all began with a bold vision: to create beverages using only botanicals that grow wild, handpicked in their natural habitats. An idea that gave birth to Selvatiq in 2019, challenging the conventions of an industry dominated by cultivated ingredients.

In 2024, this vision gains new strength when Giacomo Sandri, already involved in the Selvatiq project, and Marco Magnocavallo, entrepreneur and founder of Tannico, decide to revitalize the brand. Their partnership combines expertise in the spirits world with a deep understanding of the dynamics of building a successful business.

The turning point comes with the meeting with Luca Gargano and Velier, a legendary name in the world of high-quality spirits. More than just a commercial partnership, a true creative alliance is born. Velier, with its extensive experience in sourcing unique spirits and its commitment to authenticity, actively contributes to the development of the new Selvatiq philosophy and the creation of its products.

Our Vision:

Today, Selvatiq embodies an unprecedented vision in the world of gin: to create spirits that are true expeditions in a bottle. We don't limit ourselves to a single territory or easily accessible botanicals. We travel to the most remote and evocative places on the planet – from the peaks of the Himalayas to the wild shores of Sardinia, to the desert plains of Utah – to find the purest and most authentic botanicals.

Ours is a mission that goes beyond creating exceptional spirits. It is a commitment to:

  • Preserve the wildest ecosystems on the planet

  • Support the local communities that protect these lands

  • Bring our consumers an authentic taste of adventure in every sip

The future of Selvatiq is a continuous journey of discovering untamed flavors and unexplored lands. A journey we share with an extraordinary team of partners, from the local communities that harvest our botanicals to the master distiller who transforms them into exceptional gin.
