Vermouth & Fortified

The exact recipe of Sprizzato is a closely guarded Priante family secret. The base of the liquid is a precise blend of sweet oranges from Sicily and bitter citrus fruit from Curaçao.

The taste is predominantly sweet, but is balanced by both acidity and the increased level of alcohol. Often served chilled or over ice as an aperitif, poured over melon or with various dessert. Plessis Pineau des Charentes has a deep, golden colour. On the nose there are notes of fig, almond, prune, rancio, honey and spices.

A tasty fortified wine from Maxime Trijol, this is made by mixing cognac with the unfermented grape must used to make cognac. Drink chilled in summer.

Cocchi Americano is an aromatized wine created in 1891 by Giulio Cocchi and since produced to the original recipe. The name “Americano” is due to the alcohol made bitter (“amaricato”) by the addition of herbs and spices in particular gentian flowers and leaves, Artemisia, Cinchona, bitter orange peel, elderflower and others.
