Wine Description

This Vermouth di Torino Bianco Superiore shows a limpid, light golden profile in the glass. The nose is highly expressive and complex, defined by an intricate infusion of 37 to 46 different roots, flowers, seeds, and fruits that are macerated in alcohol for at least two months. Vibrant citrus notes of orange, lemon, and grapefruit take center stage, underpinned by a secret botanical blend featuring mugwort, vanilla, cloves, gentian, rhubarb, sandalwood, cardamom, mace, and a distinct presence of quinine bark. On the palate, it is beautifully structured, supple, and harmonious, striking an elegant balance between sweet citrus fruitiness and a sophisticated herbal bitterness. It has a rich, medium to full body with a warm, beautifully persistent finish. Crafted using a base wine made from Cortese grapes, the final blend incorporates sugar, pure alcohol, and the botanical infusion before resting in traditional concrete tanks. The product features an alcohol by volume of 17%.
