Bordiga Vermouth di Torino Bianco 375ml

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The Bianco Vermouth was Pietro’s first recipe, created in 1888, and is still in use today. Tremendously versatile in cocktails, it can modify any style of drink and pairs with spirits from gin to whiskey to calvados.”

TASTING: “Citrus, baking spice and floral elements define the palate. As with all Bordiga vermouths, freshness and acidity set it apart from others in the category, allowing the botanicals to shine. Complex and vivd, excellent balance of sweetness and bitterness. Try this in a White Negroni, classic cocktails like the Puritan or Gibson. (18% ABV)”
