GIN TARANTOLA ORIGINAL RURAL “DISTILLERIA AMARO SALENTO” CL.70 WITH GLASS

The peculiarity of this pure distillate is the union of Common Juniper berries (Juniperus Communis) from central Italy with Juniper Coccolone berries, a subspecies of the Red Juniper (Juniperus Oxycedrus), present on the southern coasts of Puglia and which unequivocally characterize Gin from Salento.

Finally, on the attentive palate, the scent of a hint of hot pepper distillate emerges which makes the alcoholic drink slightly spicy or better defined pinched, like the bite of a tarantula or taranta, a Mediterranean spider that gave rise to the ancient anthropological phenomenon called Tarantism o Tarantolism typical of Salento, from which the musical genre and the dance called Pizzica Tarantata are born.
