Giulio Cocchi Vermouth Di Torino Extra Dry, Italy (17%, 50cl)

Giulio Cocchi's Vermouth Di Torino Extra Dry from Italy (17%, 50cl) was released to celebrate the company's 130th anniversary, and let me tell you, it's a real vermouth icon! The taste is a unique blend of mountain wormwood, Menta di Pancalieri mint (a special local type), and zesty lemon. And you know what's the best part? All of the ingredients are from Piemonte, so when the bottle says "Ricetta Piemontese", it's no lie.

Of course, the heart of this vermouth is the wine, made from the local Cortese grape variety, with added flavors of coriander seeds and cardamom. Just one sip and you'll be transported straight to the rolling hills of Piemonte.

Golden in color, it has a super-elegant aroma of fresh apples, white flowers, and melon. The taste is just as fruity, with hints of cardamom, mint and wormwood.
