NV Contratto Vermouth Bianco, Piedmont, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
The base wine for this vermouth is made from 100% estate-grown Cortese grapes, a variety indigenous to Piedmont. The production process involves a meticulous cold maceration of over 50 botanicals, including hawthorn, coriander, chamomile, aloe, cinnamon, mint, ginger, angelica, clove, nutmeg, bitter orange, gentian, nettle, sweet orange, carob, juniper, rhubarb, hibiscus, sage, red cinchona, lemon, elderberry, bergamot, licorice, and sandalwood . These botanicals are extracted using a traditional cold hydro-alcoholic method over a 20-day period. The resulting infusion is then blended with the base wine, sweetened, and fortified with grape-based distillate. The vermouth is filtered to remove all solids and aged in stainless steel tanks for 40 days.
