Cocchi Americano Rosa 750 ML

Cocchi uses the Americano Aperitivo to highlight the fine aromatic grapes of Piemonte. Here the base is two varietals unique to the region and more often used in sparkling wines: Brachetto d'Acqui offers white rose and rich summer berries, while Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco provides a bitter yet round ginger base. This combo is blended with herbs, fruit and spices - most notably gentian, cinchona and citrus. Distillery Information\n 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.
