Silvio Carta Giniu Abberere (70cl)

Silvio Carta Giniu Abberere is a gin from Sardinia, named after the Sardinian word 'Abberere', meaning 'to open'. This is the Riserva edition of the distillery's top gin. The juniper is gathered at 1,500 metres from plot 517, described as a true Cru. It is bottled in a 700 ml bottle. On the nose it shows deep balsamic notes, Mediterranean scrub and aromatic herbs such as fennel, myrtle and thyme, with resin and pine needles in the background. The palate is savoury, soft and well balanced. It is suggested neat, perhaps with good chocolate.
