Del Professore Vermouth Rosso (750 ml)

The Vermouth has a pleasing amber color and an intriguing aroma of herbs, citrus and honey. As a Rosso, it is supposed to be sweet and that comes out on the palate but it is a a softer sweetness, well balanced with acidity, savory elements and a hint of bitterness. Some inexpensive Vermouths can be cloyingly sweet but that is not the case here. The savory herbal notes will tantalize as some will seem familiar while others seem more exotic, and less common. The subtle bitterness, especially on the lengthy finish, will be a satisfying ending to this compelling wine. It is smooth and medium bodied, and can be drank on its own or in a cocktail.
