Rinomato Aperitivo Deciso (1L, 14%)

Rinomato Aperitivo Deciso is a bitter aperitivo from Giancarlo Mancino's Asti house. It is built on a regional sugar beet distillate rather than wine, with bitter orange peel, gentian, cinchona bark and wormwood driving a long, building bitter finish. It sits between Aperol-level sweetness and Campari-level bitterness. Nose: orange peel and vanilla over gentian root, cinchona bark and wormwood. Palate: an initially sweet entry carrying the orange and spice, then bitterness that builds gradually rather than hitting all at once. Finish: long and increasingly bitter, held together by texture and spice.
