For over 100 years, the Cocchi winery has been cemented as one of Italy’s greatest producers of vermouths, and aperitivos. Based in Asti, a small town in Northern Italy that is the captitol of Moscato wine. Today the winery still maintains its artisan character and follows the original recipes, formulated by Giulio Cocchi in 1891, to craft the distinctive wines that have made the Cocchi a cult name.
Tasting Notes
This is not a subtle mixing vermouth but the main show itself, with full, intensely sweet palate reeled in by bitterness.
The original recipe of Giulio Cocchi calls for the use of herbs such as Cinchona and rhubarb which lightly colour the base clear wine. In order to emphasize its amber tone, sugars are added after caramelizing over fire. This thrilling vermouth, rich in sensations: among the herbs and the aromatizing spices, Artemisia and citrus are the protagonists with their balanced bitter and citrusy notes which characterize Cocchi style. A rich taste with vibrant notes of cocoa and bitter orange. From the infusion of some noble and balsamic woods, we have in the end light aromas of camphor and rosemary notes. Among the minor ingredients, herbs and woods with unique perfumes such as sandal, musk, myrrh and nutmeg.
