About this wine

Vinification

Natural herbs and spices are steeped in alcohol for at least 30 days. The resulting botanical extract is blended with Trebbiano wine, alcohol and sugar, and natural food colouring is added.

Tasting profile

Fragrant and aromatic, with a smooth, sweet palate.

Serving and pairing

Serve chilled, neat or over ice, with tonic, or in cocktails.

Label / history

The tradition behind this style of vermouth is traced to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who added extracts of aromatic herbs to wine for medicinal purposes.
