Silvio Carta

The fresh, herbaceous and mineral notes of the Sardinian Mediterranean scrub are combined with clear sweetish hints enhanced by the scent of Sardinian myrtle. The fruity notes are balanced by the other scents, maintaining a pleasant dryness and clear juniper notes that make Pigskin Pink Gin fresh and delightfull. Taking a relaxing break with a fresh gin and tonic, based on Pigskin Pink mixed with your favorite tonic, is the best way to fully appreciate this London dry gin.

Pigskin is a dandy Gin with a hipster soul. With an elegant soul, it releases its energy in the mouth. A refined gin, which is left to rest in chestnut wood barrels, in which Vernaccia was previously aged. The scent of Pigskin Gin is sweet and brackish, aging in the wood gives further roundness to the juniper . Absolutely great for the Insula signature cocktail “Quattro Mori” which includes 3 cl of Gin, 3 cl of Silvio Carta red Vermouth and 3 cl of bitters.

Sardinian Myrtle is synonymous of traditional liqueur, the unique flavour and colour of myrtle liqueur are due to the myrtle plant fruit, "Myrtus communis", which produces blue-violet berries, making it a unique liqueur. The organoleptic characteristics are present in the skin of the berries that give the colour to the liqueur, while the tannins present in the pulp, are responsible for the astringent taste and volatile compounds that give the liqueur its exclusive flavour. Gastronomic pairings: thanks to its properties, the Myrtle of Sardinia is included among the digestive so it should be drunk after a meal, even if it is often used as an aperitif. The best way to appreciate it is frozen, poured from bottles stored in the freezer.

It's the absolute Gin. After opening its precious bottle, it releases all the characteristic aromas of the Mediterranean scrub. Tasted in purity, it's velvety, equilibrated and well balanced, thanks to the salty and iodine notes that come directly from the sea. Its imprint remains on the palate for a long time, like an indelible memory. Absolutely great for the Insula signature cocktail “Quattro Mori” which includes 3 cl of Silvio Carta Giniu Gin, 3 cl of Silvio Carta red Vermouth and 3 cl of bitter.

Mirto Ricetta Storica is a journey through the history of Sardinia. Every little sip is a step among the bushes of Mediterranean vegetation, towards cliffs overlooking the sea, with sensations in your mouth that take your breath away.

It's a cream of great class that combines Silvio Carta lemon with high quality milk. Alone it is excellent as an aperitif and as a digestive. It goes well with special breads, dry and spoon-fed sweets and chocolate.
