Ginato Gin Sicilian Citrus Italian Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Ryan: We have used Nebbiolo, Barbera and Sangiovese grapes in our other flavor variants but our experience has been that the consumer instantly recognizes and connects with Pinot Grigio in a way they don’t with the other lesser known varieties. Pinot Grigio grape will now feature across the full Ginato Gin range including the pink grapefruit, clementine orange and pomegranate flavor variants. Over the last decade, propelled by the expansion of the craft distilling industry, gin has had a veritable explosion of expressions. At last count there were more than 6,000 different expressions of gin and the number continues to increase each year. We can't wait to share his great enthusiasm for Ginato Gin and his love of everything Italian with consumers across the UK in the coming months and years ahead.'' Designed to capture the true essence of Italy in it's ingredients and its tastes, the Ginato range also includes; Ginato Melograno which combines Barbera Grape and Sicilian pomegranates, Ginato Clementino which balances Nebbiolo grape and Clementine oranges, and Ginato Pompelmo created using Sangiovese Grape and Sicilian pink grapefruits.

Well-balanced palate with cardamom, a soft butteryness and pepper combining with the citrus notes, creating a well-integrated and well-made interesting gin.

Crafted using the true essence of Italy - Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera. These grape varieties can all be found in Italy’s finest growing regions that circumnavigate the idyllic lakes of the north. Classic Old Tom Gin from The House of Botanicals is a historic style of gin reminiscent of 18th century gins. These gins had sugar added to them to make them smoother and to mask undesirable flavors in the gin. The judging panel described the gin as: John Soden, CCO of Ginato owner Kirker Greer Spirits, said: “We have been blown away by the success of Ginato Italian Gin in every market it has entered so far, and our goal is to continue to build on that success as we introduce the product across Australia. The Australian drinks industry is extremely dynamic and we feel that Ginato will be a great addition to the Dan Murphy’s and BWS premium spirits portfolio.” Italian gin brand Ginato has gained listings with Australian drinks retailers Dan Murphy’s and BWS. The 43% ABV gins are distributed worldwide by Kirker Greer Spirits By expertly blending the finest Italian juniper berries, botanicals and grape, we have created a collection of wonderful gins that are both extremely unique and exude the true essence of Italy.This year’s IWSC Gold Outstanding medalists represent a broad array of styles from historic to contemporary, utilizing both traditional and local botanicals as well as unusual ones. Plenty to explore here. Your gin and tonics may never be the same. Gin from Europe?’ you might be thinking. ‘Is nothing sacred?’ After all, gin is as proudly British as fish and chips, Tesco and Fray Bentons meat pies. This is correct – but only in so far as none of the above are strictly British inventions, either. The first chippie was set up by a Jewish immigrant, the first Tesco was established by the son of Polish arrivals, and Fray Bentos was first manufactured in Uruguay. Two expressions in the range , Ginato Clementino and Ginato Pompelmo, will be available to buy in the Australian off-trade. Richard Ryan: There is a beauty in variety and we use the grape in the base alcohol, combining a considered blend of grape and grain spirit. The grape spirit fundamentally provides a unique texture to the gin, and when we redistill our base spirit to make gin, we also add Pinot Grigio grape as one of the botanicals to bring about the underlying aroma and flavor of this most popular of wines. Combine this with Sardinian citrus and we land on a particularly clean, crisp, citrus-forward gin with hints of apple and pear from our grape choice.
