Giulio Cocchi Storico Vermouth Di Torino Extra Dry Piedmont Italy

Spirit Type: Extra Dry Vermouth (aromatized wine)

Producer: Giulio Cocchi Storico

Where: Asti, Piemonte

Country: Italy

Critic tasting note: "Look for a pale straw hue and fresh green apple and white flower aromas. The palate is zippy and remarkably light, with mouthwatering lemon peel and the barest hints of fresh herbs and peppermint on the super-clean, brisk exhale. Martini-worthy. Kara Newman" - 97/100, Wine Enthusiast

Bright, dry vermouth expressing the freshness of Piedmont’s Cortese grapes. Vibrant maceration of peppermint, lemon, wormwood, coriander and cardamom.

Giulio Cocchi brings its unique expression of Piemontese grapes to the world of dry vermouth. Cocchi Extra Dry Vermouth di Torino combines the freshness of a Cortese wine base with local mountain wormwood, Menta di Pancalieri peppermint, and lemon over a backbone of angelica, coriander, and cardamom. Use Cocchi Extra Dry in a Martini with robust gins, or spritz with tonic water. The silky vinous texture of Cocchi Extra Dry is ideal for classic whiskey cocktails that call for dry vermouth, such as the Old Pal and the Scofflaw. At aperitif hour, Cocchi Extra Dry is ideal to pair with young cheeses.
