Bordiga Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry

The nose shows a floral lift with gentian, orange peel, and a light bitter edge. The palate has a spine of the bitter gentian with flowers, citrus and spice to balance. - D&M TASTING NOTES

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Recipe from early 1900s, local cortese and moscato blended with over 30 individually infused and/or distilled botanicals. At just 3% sugar, the Bordiga Extra Dry is a game changer for dry vermouth."

TASTING: "With no sugar to hide behind the acidity in the wine comes through and the floral and herbal notes shine. Spicy, floral, balanced acidity, long flavor evolves from sweet to dry to bitter. In Piedmont it is drunk chilled with fresh seafood or aperitivo, and we’ve been known to do the same, however it’s freshness livens up cocktails and we encourage you to use it in heavier pours than usually called for. Try this in a 50/50, Diplomat, Perfect Manhattan. (18% ABV)”
