IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: The Bordiga Rosso vermouth is still made according to Pietro’s original recipe from the 1900s which importantly uses local Nebbiolo as one of the base wines. This is what provides the red color; no chemicals are used."

TASTING: “Made in the classic Vermouth di Torino style, this is light, delicate and silky, with baking spice (cardamaom, vanilla) balanced with sweet citrus flavors. As with all Bordiga vermouths, freshness and acidity set it apart from others in the category, allowing the botanicals to shine. Try this in any classic cocktail recipe, gin drinks, as an Americano with the Bordiga Aperitivo and Bitter Rosso (18% ABV)”
