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.
