Controcorrente - Vermouth Bianco

$65.00

Made over a base wine of Chardonnay and Durella from Daniele Piccinin, which is then infused with a citrus and botanical tincture of lemon balm, tangerine and chamomile, before being fortified with alcohol and sugar. 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.

Citrusy, yet rounded and creamy. A gentle salty flavours and the spiky acidity of the Durella that cuts everything through, balance perfectly this vermouth.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Controcorrente - which means countercurrent in Italian – is the creation of Enrico Ciroi. It was after he discovered natural wines that Enrico began to contemplate how most vermouths rarely speaks to the provenance of the wine at their base. Enrico decided he would take some of the wines he enjoyed the most and use them as a starting point to create a new vermouth.

Working with Daniele Piccinin, Enrico has created vermouths of great purity and balance of flavour. His vermouths are just as good in a spritz or an aperitivo cocktail as they are enjoyed neat over ice at the end of a good meal. Aromatic, bittersweet and herbaceous, Controcorrente produces some truly delicious drinks.
