Controcorrente Vermouth Bianco

Vermouth! From Udine in Friuli Venezia Giulia! Made by experienced winemaker Enrico Ciroi, who fell hard for natural wine when he opened a small restaurant in his hometown. In a quest to fashion vermouth in a similar provenance-forward fashion, he’s teamed up with Daniele Piccinin (a vigneron in the Veneto whose wines we stock and are big fans of here at P&V) to release a forward-thinking trio of aromatised wines. These are slightly lower in sugar than traditional Torino-style vermouths. In this case, we’re dealing with a blend of chardonnay and durella grapes, infused with chamomile, orange citrus, lemon balm and wormwood – among other botanicals. The end result is bright and sophisticated, with tinges of curry leaf, thyme, oregano and herbs. Use it in Spritzes and White Negronis, or just sip it over ice and stare off into the sunset.
