Staff Pick Notes

Mauro Vergano, the creator of this bitter is an artisanal producer. Production is very small. Competitors like Aperol and Campari sell millions of bottles a year. He produces a small amount of them. He is the son of a pharmacist and a nephew of a winemaker. This kind of aperitif is made with wine, sugar and ingredients like botanicals and herbs. This Americano combines gentian with wormwood, citrus and orange peel. Grignolino is used: it's a low tannin and medium body grape and the result id incredible...smooth and fruity with some earthy root finish, I would enjoy it with some ice, a splash of soda and a sliced orange.
