GinSale

In the Gin Sale produced by the Bianchi company, the reduced alcohol content is enhanced by the flavor of the sea salt: a new composition is born of two products distant from each other in history and taste but united by quality and research. This has made it possible to create a drink that is pleasant to the taste and, if consumed correctly, in line with the principles that regulate the maintenance of good health."

Gin is an alcoholic drink that owes its taste to juniper berries and was developed on the basis of the Jenever drink, which is the traditional juniper-based liqueur born in Holland and Belgium. This drink began to become popular in the United Kingdom when the Dutch leader William of Orange occupied the Scottish and English thrones with his consort Mary.
William of Orange promulgated statutes encouraging the distillation of alcoholic beverages, and the volume of gin produced soon surpassed that of beer.
And so it was that British distilleries began to produce their own version of “Genever” and shortened the name to “Gin” giving life to a medicinal elixir that later developed into what we now know, and love: Gin & Tonic.
Our Gin Sale is a pure Juniper distillate, made to measure, like a tailored suit to which we have added a pinch of sea salt.
The production of this salt, which was once defined as WHITE GOLD, so rare, precious and important it was, amplified and increased over the centuries to the point of giving life to a veritable fleet of boats called "schifazzi" whose name seems be the definition of "big boat", in fact in Sicily the so-called "Schifo" was defined as a boat, therefore "Schifazzo" was the largest one.
These boats transported salt to the Sicilian, Calabrian and Apulian coasts.
Today these places constitute a source of income and tourist attraction for our city of Marsala, a city known throughout the world for its noble wine and for the landing of Garibaldi.
These places represent an environmental unicum among the most characteristic of the Mediterranean.

It was the 1980s when Mr. Pino Bianchi purchased the largest of the "schifazzi" in the Mediterranean and transformed it from a salt transport vessel to an elegant pleasure vessel.

Called it “ Soledad “, this vessel played an important role in the creative process of the Bianchi family's activities.

The lighthouse on the label is exactly what we see from the door of our company and the boat sailing is the soledad reproduced thanks to an old family photo.

Our Gin is the ideal companion for a cocktail with a surprising flavor and thanks to the use of Salt it acquires a savory, elegant taste which lends itself to being enhanced by the addition of tonic, preferably with zero sugars or with Indian and the classic slice of lemon or a burnt rosemary sprig.
