At \u003cstrong\u003e37.5% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e, it offers a dry, smooth, and balanced profile. The bouquet features crisp juniper with light balsamic notes and a saline edge, while the palate delivers an enveloping, savoury sensation and a persistent maritime finish. Its structure is ideal for mixing, elevating a \u003cstrong\u003eGin and Tonic\u003c\/strong\u003e by using a subtle saltiness to lift the juniper rather than mask its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGeographical origin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted in \u003cstrong\u003eSicily\u003c\/strong\u003e, this spirit reflects the island’s coastal identity. Historically revered as ‘white gold’, salt held immense regional value. The salt trade utilised large cargo boats known as ‘schifazzi’ to transport this vital ingredient along the coast. Deeply rooted in this heritage, the spirit maintains a \u003cstrong\u003eclear territorial link\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining robust juniper with a distinct yet carefully controlled \u003cstrong\u003emaritime savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with the \u003cstrong\u003emaceration of juniper berries\u003c\/strong\u003e to extract their aromatic components.

Tailored like a bespoke suit, the recipe pays homage to sea salt, once so rare and precious it was known as ‘white gold’. In Sicily, the historical production of this salt led to the creation of a fleet of large cargo boats called ‘schifazzi’, a name derived from the local word ‘schifo’ meaning boat, which were used to transport this vital ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Distillerie Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46217051373739,"sku":"60451","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/sale-gin-al-sale-marino-0-7l_60451_1_df9caf7f-fd0f-43eb-b129-1a466226195d.webp?v=1773811582"}],"url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-uk\/collections\/distillerie-bianchi.oembed","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
