Vergano Americano Aperitif (750ml)

SKU #1057860

Think of the Vergano Americano as a traditional Vermouth/Bitter Piedmontese aperitif. It uses Grignolino as the base wine rather than Nebbiolo, and like most vermouths, it contains herbal and aromatic components. In order to transform a Vermouth into an Americano you have to integrate the herbs at its base with other more bitter ones like Gentianella, citrus zest like Bitter Orange and Chinotto.The result is like an Italian wine version of Campari or Cynar. Try using it in a Negroni or with soda and a twist. Absolutely lovely stuff.

This is a fun, tasty, kind hippogryph of an aromatized wine. The wines body reads as vermouth, however the flavorings take it in a more dry, woodsy, spicy, cigar tobacco direction. You can get a pretty fair cocktail just substituting it for vermouth in a Manhattan and leaving out the bitters. It's definitely a tinkering candidate for closet bartenders out there and I'd wager would appeal to those with a taste for Carpano Antico and/or Gran Classico.
