Controcorrente - Vermouth Levante
Levant, (from the French lever, “to rise,” as in sunrise, meaning the east), historically, the region along the eastern Mediterranean shores, but commonly associated with Venetian and other trading ventures back in the centuries. Made over a base wine of Verduzzo from Marco Sara (located in the Colli Orientali del Friuli), which is then Infused with gentian, elderberry and green tea, before being fortified with alcohol and sugar. This time the percentage of sugar is kept almost half that what would be in a normal vermouth. The infusion comes together for a couple of months in tank before bottling, where it is then rested for a further three months before release.
