Silvio Carta Pigskin Gin (70cl)

Silvio Carta Pigskin is a gin from Sardinia, based on the same botanicals as Giniu: myrtle, juniper, thyme, fennel, sage and lemon peel. It is aged for six months in century-old Sardinian chestnut casks previously used for Vernaccia. On the nose it shows Mediterranean scrub and aromatic herbs, with nutmeg, butter and vanilla. On the palate it is soft, enveloping and structured, with a long persistence of toasted notes. It is suggested in an Italian gin and tonic with Mediterranean tonic, or served neat.
