Cocchi Americano

Made to the same recipe as when originally created by Giulio Cocci in 1891 this has something of a cult following in the world of vermouths. The blend of herbs and spices used to aromatise the moscato base wine are, as is usual, a closely guarded secret, but the gentian, cinchona and bitter orange peel among the ingredients give it a herbal bitterness that suits a Vesper Martini to a tee.

A bracing apertif when drunk simply on the rocks, or as a spritz and is the perfect ingredient in a number of cocktails.

Founded in 1891 by Giulio Cocchi, his eponymous winery quickly set the standard for vermouths with its elegant and authentic style. By insisting on using high-quality wines and aromatics, they created benchmarks for others to follow and over the years, their expertise and dedication to quality continued to blaze the trail for others to follow.
