Cocchi Americano (75cl)

An aromatised wine conceived by Giulio Cocchi in 1891 and produced continuously to the original recipe. It is made in the province of Asti by infusing Moscato white wine with sugar, aromatic herbs and spices, including gentian, wormwood, cinchona, bitter orange and elderflower. The wine matures for 12 months before release. On the nose it shows citrus fruit and spicy notes of chocolate, cinnamon and menthol. On the palate it is complex, with raisin, citrus, liquorice, rhubarb and cocoa, leading to a finish with smoke and cinchona. It is an aperitif served with ice, soda water and orange peel, and is used in cocktails such as the Vesper Martini.
