Cocchi Vermouth Di Torino Extra Dry 500 ML

Introduction

Cocchi has produced wine-based aperitifs and traditional Piemontese sparkling wines since 1891. Since 1978, the company has been owned and operated by the Bava Family, themselves renowned producers of sparkling wine in Monferrato and Langhe. Giulio Cocchi was a young and creative pastry chef from Florence, where he worked in a popular bar located in Piazza del Duomo. In the late nineteenth century he moved to Asti, a small but lively town in northwest Italy, not far from Torino, and established himself as a distiller and winemaker. His Barolo Chinato, Aperitivo Americano and vermouths became well known during the Belle Epoque and the Italian Futurist period. By 1913 there were twelve Cocchi tasting Bars in Piemonte. Today the winery maintains its artisan character and follows Giulios original recipes to craft the distinctive wines that have made Cocchi a cult name worldwide. In the last 30 years, Cocchi has revived the forgotten wine categories Barolo Chinato and Vermouth di Torino…Released for Cocchi’s 130th anniversary, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry Piemontese is a classic style from the birthplace of vermouth – Piemonte. Made with Cortese grapes and a secret blend of botanicals, including lemon peel, coriander seeds, peppermint, gentian and Artemisia, also known as absinthium. The palate offers elegant notes of fresh apple, melon and white flowers from the wine, with aromatic cardamom, wormwood, coriander, mint and lemon peel, with garden herbs lingering in the finish.
