The story
The company is named after its founder Silvio Carta and was established in the early 1950s in Baratili San Pietro (Oristano). Family management continued with Elio Carta (leading since 1972) and the activity expanded to include, alongside Vernaccia di Oristano, a range of liqueurs and spirits. Modern spirits production (gin, aged grappas, vermouth and experimental distillates such as whisky and Vernaccia brandy) was developed with a focus on rediscovering local techniques and using native botanicals; part of production takes place at the Zeddiani (OR) facility.
Distillation
Batch (discontinuous) copper still distillation at low temperature; botanical infusions followed by distillation for the gins; selection of the 'heart' fraction and, for the whisky, double distillation/use of a copper still.
Ageing
Aging in century-old Sardinian chestnut casks (previously used for Vernaccia di Oristano) for some grappas, aged gins and distillates; finishing in small barrels for selected products.
