Bordiga - Vermut Rosso di Torino (750ml)
At the end of the nineteenth century Pietro Bordiga owned a famous bar in Turin. He decided to use his knowledge of botanical flavorings and the extraction of essential oils to open a distillery, and he decided to locate it in a city near the mountains where the wild plants used to make amaro and other spirits grew. He chose the city of Cuneo, a little over an hour south of Turin and close to the Occitan Alps. The climate here, influenced the mountains and by proximity to the ocean just over the Alps, creates herbs that are particularly rich in essential oils and aromas. Bordiga makes all of their own infusions, and many of the wild plants they use, such as gentian, juniper and chamomile, are still gathered in the Alps nearby. Much lighter than most other red vermouths, Bordiga Rosso has lovely soft notes of baking spices and cola sweetness; it works beautifully as a sipper or when you don't want to overpower a lighter spirit in a cocktail.
