Cocchi Americano Bianco

Cocchi Americano Bianco hails from Italy's Asti region, a classic aromatized wine first crafted by Giulio Cocchi in 1891 and continuously produced since. The Cocchi brand is renowned for its traditional production of vermouths and aperitif wines, and this particular Americano is celebrated for its original recipe, which includes gentian, cinchona, and citrus peels, offering a distinctively bitter and aromatic profile. It's considered a key ingredient for recreating classic cocktails like the Vesper Martini, a testament to its enduring, authentic character.

Cocchi Americano Bianco brings a bright, citrus-forward character with a pleasant gentian bitterness and hints of spice, making it a fantastic addition to your home bar. It truly shines in cocktails where its cinchona backbone can stand out, think a classic Vesper or adding depth to a Corpse Reviver #2; it's one of those versatile cocktail ingredients that Anders Erickson would definitely appreciate in well-crafted drinks.

Cocchi Americano Bianco offers a complex bouquet of citrus, elderflower, and baked apple. On the palate, it balances sweetness with a distinct gentian bitterness, layered with honey and zesty orange. The finish is long, refreshing, and keeps both the sweet and bitter notes lively.
