Doragrossa Bitter Liquore (25%)

Doragrossa is an Italian bitter in the spirit of the Turin aperitif tradition, bottled at 25% vol. The name recalls the Contrada Dora Grossa, a historic quarter of the city where liqueur makers, distillers and merchants once worked. Wormwood and gentian give the bitter structure, bitter orange adds citrus fruit, iris brings finesse and cardamom a warmer, spiced note. The herbs and spices are distilled together in a copper-lined steel still rather than simply macerated. It is made for cocktails such as the Negroni, the Americano and a simple bitter and soda. On the nose, bitter orange and wormwood come first, with vegetal gentian and floral touches.
