Description
Vermouth from Piedmont, an aromatized wine with 16% ABV, produced by Giulio Cocchi since 1891 in Cocconato (AT). A thrilling vermouth, rich in sensations, with artemisia and citrus taking center stage, balanced by cinchona. Giulio Cocchi's original recipe calls for herbs such as cinchona and rhubarb, which give the beautiful clear wine a light brown hue. To accentuate the amber hue, browned sugar, prepared over the fire like crème caramel, is added. Along with its color, it also lends a special touch to the flavor: a crunchy, candy floss touch that smooths out any bitterness without the need for vanilla. The flavor is rich, with vibrant notes of cocoa and bitter orange. The infusion of several noble and balsamic woods yields light camphorated notes and notes of rosemary. Minor ingredients include herbs and woods with unique aromas such as sandalwood, musk, myrrh, and nutmeg.

| Production technique | Giulio Cocchi’s original recipe includes herbs such as cinchona and rhubarb, which lend a slight brown hue to the naturally pale wine. To enhance the amber tone, caramelized sugar—prepared over direct heat as for crème caramel—is added, contributing not only color but also a distinctive flavor note: crunchy caramel and spun sugar that round out all the bitter components without the use of vanilla. This Vermouth is rich in emotion and sensation: among the aromatizing herbs and spices, artemisia and citrus play a leading role, and together with cinchona they provide balanced bitter and citrus tones that define Cocchi’s style. The palate is therefore rich, with vibrant notes of cocoa and bitter orange. From the infusion of select noble and balsamic woods come subtle camphor hints and rosemary notes on the finish. Among the minor ingredients are herbs and woods with unique aromas such as sandalwood, myrrh and nutmeg. |
