Old gold color. Aromas and flavors of dried italian herbs, pickling spices in honey syrup, almond paste, and dried tangerine and apricot with a glycerous, dryish medium-full body and a warming, intricate, very long finish with accents of honey soaked orange peel on almond toast, quinine and grapefruit, scorched gentian root, and pine sap. A lovely bitter digestif on its own, this Vermouth would make a savory and nutty addition to a Martini or Vesper.

About
Vermouth Red
Vermouth is an aromatized, fortified wine flavored with certain spices and herbs, including tree barks, seeds and flowers.

Historically there were two main vermouth styles, a sweet Italian vermouth and a drier, lighter French vermouth. Today many styles of dry and sweet, red and white vermouths are made in many regions of the world. More and more diversity in style is seen with the success of new-world, craft vermouths entering the market. Enjoy these wines on the rocks, with soda, or in your favorite classic cocktails like a Manhattan, Martini, or Negroni.
