Ginato Gin Sicilian Citrus Italian Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Ginato Italian Gin has launched in more than 22 countries including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Israel, South Africa and Australia. Opihr Aromatics Bitters Gin is a savory led gin with a distinctive bitter note from cascarilla bark, along with burnt orange and fragrant myrrh. The judging panel described it as: Maybe it’s the greyhound on the label, but there’s a definite sleekness to Windspiel – perhaps down to the fact that its base spirit is made with potatoes. It’s super elegant: lots of juniper, citrus, candied lemon peel and a gentle hint of lavender on the finish, no sharp edges. The charm is its smooth, rich texture, made for an indulgent Martinez or (better) a quality Martini. Alc 47% We are seeing exceptional growth and success with Ginato in the Australian market and we look forward to continuing to build on that success with our partners.” Brilliantly complex and herbal on the nose, bursting with notes of peppermint tea and apple blossom. The palate offers a layered floral profile alongside fruitier characters. Bold, bright, and fabulously intriguing, demonstrating wonderful length and poise on the finish.

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. Kirker Greer recently expanded its team and named ex-Dead Rabbit bartender Peter Moore as global educator and ambassador across its portfolio, as well as Matt Bell as its operations manager.The Clementino expression adds clementine oranges to the blend, resulting in a ‘vibrant orange’ colour. Meanwhile, the Pompelmo expression is made from Sicilian pink grapefruit peel, giving the liquid a rose-pink tint. Two expressions in the range , Ginato Clementino and Ginato Pompelmo, will be available to buy in the Australian off-trade.

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. A vibrant, fresh colour with definite raspberry aromas. Like strolling through a bramble patch. On the palate, rich opulent fruit gives a sweet and sour character. Juniper undertones. A wonderfully well-made gin that delivers on flavour and character.Most Spanish and Italian gins go down the citrus route, but not Gin Mare. This is savoury rather than sweet – think olives and garrigue, particularly rosemary and thyme – with a touch of sea-breeze saltiness and a twist of lemon. It’s sweeter and softer on the palate than you’d expect, so although it works fine in a G&T, it’s at its best in a Martini, where it can show off its subtlety and silkiness. Alc 42.7% 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. 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.”

The Ginato Gin range comprises four bottlings: the classic Pinot Grigio Gin, made with a blend of grape and grain spirit, and combined with Sicilian lemons; Ginato Clementino, crafted with clementine oranges; Ginato Pompelmo, made with pink grapefruit; and Melograno gin, made with pomegranate. Gorgeously light and fragrant on the nose with a juicy burst of fresh citrus on the palate. The beautifully blended botanicals open up like a summer flower to reveal glorious complexity and a delightfully long dry finish. A superb gin. Not surprisingly, almost half of the Gold Outstanding medalist were from the UK. Stylistically, these gins ran the gamut from historic, to traditional, to fruit based and contemporary styled gins. This gin tastes very much of its French Riviera home – not least because it’s expensive! The feel of the bottle owes more to a top-end perfume than a bottle of booze, and there’s some of that in the flavours, too. There’s definite juniper up front, but then many layers below and behind it. Warm red leather, higher grass elements, sweet and dry spices and building notes of musky white flowers. It wraps itself around the bitterness of tonic but is at its best in a highly distinctive Martini. Alc 44%
