  Grifu Lime Gin 70 cl Silvio Carta Italy 40%

  Item no.: 2222786539-6084-2

  Sardinia's Mediterranean herbs meet sharp lime zest in this crystal-clear gin from Silvio Carta, where citrus takes over entirely from the cask-aged sister edition.

  Expert's description

  Grifu Lime Gin is an Italian gin from Silvio Carta, bottled at 40%.

  The gin is built on thyme, juniper, fennel, sage and lime zest, a botanical composition that gives it its distinct Mediterranean, citrus character.

  Unlike the house's cask-aged Old Grifu, this edition remains crystal clear and uncoloured, with citrus as the unmistakable centrepiece.

  The combination of lime zest and sage gives a fresh, menthol-like edge that makes the gin particularly suited to cocktails.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose is distinguished by a clear, fresh citrus note reminiscent of lime, alongside balsamic herbal tones that alternate with floral notes of geranium and a slight spicy nuance of green pepper and cardamom.

  Palate

  The palate is soft, rich and full-bodied with the characteristic citrus note accompanied by menthol-like hints.

  Finish

  The finish is very long with lingering citrus and menthol character.

  Old Grifu Gin Matured 70 cl Silvio Carta Italy 42%

  Item no.: 2222786539-6084-1

  After distillation, this Sardinian gin is transferred to chestnut casks that previously held Vernaccia wine, concentrating all the aromatic elements of the botanicals from the wild Sardinian macchia.

  Expert's description

  Old Grifu Gin Matured is an Italian gin from Silvio Carta, bottled at 42%.

  Following the initial distillation, the gin is transferred to chestnut casks previously used for ageing Silvio Carta's Vernaccia wine, resulting in a concentration of all the botanicals' aromatic components.

  The end result is a tribute to the wild herbs of Sardinia, where the distillery's experience with Vernaccia winemaking directly influences the gin's character.

  The cask ageing gives the gin an amber, coppery hue that sets it markedly apart from clear-distilled gins.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers citrus notes and Mediterranean scrub with a light smoky finish.

  Palate

  The palate is gently citrusy, playing well against the spiciness and the soft, warm notes of chestnut.

  Finish

  The finish is lively and rich in the aromas of Sardinia's wild herbs, with a lingering citrus character.
