Bordiga Excelsior Riserva Vermouth

We have been big fans of the Bordiga extra dry and rosso vermouths for many years here at D&M and were excited to try and bring to our shelfs the Riserva. A richer body, more dark and dried fruits this was wonderful chilled on its own, but will hold up to your high proof bourbons and ryes. D&M Tasting Notes

Made of 35% local Barolo wine aged 18 months in oak then blended with Cortese and Moscato and over 30 individually infused and or distilled botanicals, beet sugar, water, then aged in oak for several months. Intense, complex, weighty, slightly tannic, dried cherry and spice notes.  

At the end of the nineteenth century Pietro Bordiga owned a famous bar in Turin. He decided to use his knowlege 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. Importer Notes
