Silvio Carta Gin

A Sardinian wine producer's detour into the world of gin, where the island's wild myrtle and juniper create a distinctly Mediterranean character. Silvio Carta is better known for its Vernaccia wine and myrtle liqueur, but has let the same Sardinian palette of ingredients find its way into a gin. The result unmistakably tastes of the island it comes from.

  • Citrusgin Premium London Dry Citrus Gin Whisky.dk Silvio Carta Italy 70 cl 38%
    Item no.: 2226539-65896

    The sun beats down on Sardinia's lemon groves, where the air hangs heavy with peeled citrus and wild Mediterranean herbs. Somewhere between salt water and stony ground, this gin was born — a tribute to one family's lifelong love of citrus.

    Expert's Description

    Citrusgin is an Italian London Dry Citrus Gin from Silvio Carta, distilled in Sardinia and bottled at 38%.

    Silvio Carta has more than 60 years of experience making wine and spirits on the island, and although the founder himself is in his 90s, he still tends his own lemon groves, used among other things in the family's Limoncello. Today the distillery is run by his grandchildren, who continue the tradition of Sardinian gin and liqueurs made with local herbs such as myrtle, sage and lentischio.

    This Citrusgin was created specially for Whisky.dk in a small batch — Batch 001 — building on the house's signature style: citrus up front, supported by mint, sage and the resinous, faintly spicy lentischio, a wild shrub that grows alongside juniper and myrtle in Sardinia's coastal scrubland.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh citrus peel, mostly lemon with a touch of blood orange, meets a hint of mint and dried Mediterranean herbs.

    Palate

    Round and spiced with clear citrus, where sage and the resinous lentischio add depth, and a faintly salty, coastal undertone echoes the island's location by the sea.

    Finish

    Long and refreshing, with mint and citrus peel lingering the longest.

  • Grifu Orange Gin Silvio Carta Italy 70 cl 41%
    Item no.: 222539-60855

    Grifu Orange Gin is a fresh, sun‑ripened and citrus‑driven gin where the Sardinian oranges immediately stand out clearly in both aroma and flavour. It opens with a lively bouquet of orange peel, lime and light floral notes, all gently tied together by the classic juniper that adds structure and depth. On the palate it is soft, rounded and full, with a distinct orange sweetness balanced by fresh acidity and a mild spicy edge from the local botanicals.

    Silvio Carta distils this gin on Sardinia using local juniper and the island’s characteristic herbs and plants – including myrtle, sage and lentischio – which together create an aromatic, Mediterranean complexity. The result is a gin that is light, sunny and elegant, making it especially well suited for a summery Gin & Tonic.

    A slice of fresh orange as garnish lifts both aroma and flavour and pairs perfectly with the gin’s natural citrus profile. For a classic serve, Fever‑Tree Mediterranean Tonic is recommended, as it highlights the warm, herbal notes.
