GinSale

In Gin Sale produced by the Bianchi company, the lower alcohol content is enhanced by the savory character of sea salt: a new composition is born from two products distant from each other in history and taste, yet united by quality and research. This has made it possible to create a pleasant-tasting beverage which, when consumed correctly, is in line with the principles governing the maintenance of good health.”

Gin is an alcoholic beverage that owes its taste to juniper berries and was developed from Jenever, the traditional juniper-based liqueur originating in the Netherlands and Belgium. This beverage began to grow 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 enacted statutes encouraging the distillation of alcoholic beverages, and the volume of gin produced soon surpassed that of beer.
And so British distilleries began producing their own version of “Genever” and shortened the name to “Gin,” giving rise to a medicinal elixir that later developed into what we know and love today: Gin & Tonic .
Our Gin Sale is a pure juniper distillate, custom-made like a tailored suit, to which we have added a pinch of sea salt.
The production of this salt, once known as WHITE GOLD because it was so rare, precious, and important, expanded and increased over the centuries to such an extent that it gave rise to a genuine fleet of vessels called “ schifazzi “. The name appears to derive from the term for a “large boat”; in Sicily, a boat was called a “Schifo,” so a “Schifazzo” was the larger one.
These boats transported salt along the Sicilian, Calabrian, and Apulian coasts.
Today, these places are a source of income and a tourist attraction for our city of Marsala, a city known worldwide for its noble wine and for the landing of Garibaldi’s forces.
These places represent one of the most distinctive environmental treasures in the Mediterranean.

It was the 1980s when Mr. Pino Bianchi purchased the largest of the Mediterranean “ schifazzi “ and transformed it from a salt-transport vessel into an elegant pleasure boat.

He named it “ Soledad “; this vessel played an important role in the creative development of the Bianchi family’s activities.

The lighthouse on the label is precisely the one we can see from the entrance of our company, and the sailing boat is the Soledad, reproduced from an old family photograph.

Our Gin is the ideal companion for a cocktail with a surprising flavor. Thanks to the use of salt, it acquires a savory, elegant taste that is enhanced by the addition of tonic, preferably sugar-free or Indian tonic, and a classic slice of lemon or a sprig of burned rosemary.
