Cocchi Americano
75cl - 16.5% ABV
Produced to the same recipe created by Giulio Cocchi in 1891, Cocchi Americano is an aromatised wine blending Moscato base and botanicals such as gentian and wormwood. It has a fruity flavour profile of bitter oranges and elderflower on the nose, followed by tropical notes of mango, pineapple and papaya and is the perfect balance between bitter and sweet. Cocchi Americano is best enjoyed in a Classic Spritz: pour 50ml Cocchi Americano over ice and top with soda, garnish with an orange peel.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Spicy and sweet, with orange blossom, orange zest, elderflower and a hint of bitter herbs, with baked apples and pear drops developing in the glass.
Palate
Complex but well-balanced, with a complimentary bitter and sweet character. Cloves and cinnamon sit alongside rich fruit, green herbs and citrus – orange and lemon zest. Behind that are more wine-like notes, providing a backdrop for the herbal, fruity and spicy flavours.
Finish
A long and vibrant finish, balancing sweet citrus fruit and herbal bitterness before slowly revealing woody cinchona bark.
Comment
An excellent aperitif, equally at home on its own, served long with soda as a spritz or in cocktail. Fresh tasting and bittersweet in just the right way.
