Controcorrente Vermouth Levante

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 released a forward-thinking trio of aromatised wines. These are slightly lower in sugar than traditional Torino-style vermouths. This is a curveball, using local verduzzo grapes for the wine base, which are usually reserved for a famed sweet wine called Ramandolo. Here, they’re infused with green tea, eleer berry and gentian. Ciroi recommends using this as a substitute for amaro or in creative cocktails, thanks to its intensity, bitterness and tannic profile. Good times
