Scarpa Vermouth Di Torino Rosso

The Scarpa red vermouth from Italy is made of 30% Moscato d'Asti grapes aged for two months, with an extract of over 150 herbs as per traditional Piedmontese methods. The herbs are all grown and harvested in Pancalieri, a small town close to Torino in the northwest region of Italy. Their red vermouth in particular has distinct notes of angostura, rhubarb, and predominately, bitter orange. On the palate, cardamom, sweet raisins, and angostura bark come through, with hints of spice and a balance of sweet, bitter, and savory notes. The Scarpa red vermouth is best enjoyed as an aperitif or digestive with a slight chill at about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or, with ice. Works wonderfully in cocktails such as a negroni or a Manhattan.
