Discover Pigskin Gin: A Unique Italian Creation
Pigskin Gin is a spirit with a straw yellow hue and subtle rose gold undertones. It boasts an enticing aroma of Mediterranean scrubland and a bouquet of aromatic herbs. Additionally, it features spicy hints of nutmeg, sweeter tones of butter, and vanilla. Upon tasting, it reveals a soft, round, and warm profile that is incredibly engaging and structured. It envelops the entire palate and captivates with its long-lasting toasty notes.
The Birth of Pigskin Gin
- Following the tremendous success of GINIU, Elio Carta ventures into creating a new product: Pigskin Gin.
- Made with the same principles but using a different process.
- Utilizes local botanicals like juniper, myrtle, thyme, fennel, sage, lemon zest in larger quantities.
- Aged in ancient Sardinian chestnut barrels previously used for Vernaccia wine aging.
This unique aging process results in an exceptionally smooth gin with unparalleled characteristics worldwide. The name “Pigskin” stems from a curious encounter with wild boars during the botanical gathering phase. Surprisingly unfazed by human presence, the boars lingered nearby out of curiosity. This gin is perfect for an Italian-style Gin & Tonic that will surprise and delight your taste buds.
