Cocchi Americano Rosa Aperitif

Cocchi Americano Rosa is the fruitier, rosier sibling to the brand's classic Bianco, built on a base of Brachetto d'Acqui — the same aromatic red grape behind Piedmont's famous sparkling wine of the same name — rather than the Moscato used in the original. It shares the Bianco's core backbone of gentian, cinchona bark, and citrus zest, the trio responsible for that classic Americano bitterness, but adds ginger and rose petals to round things into a softer, more floral direction. The color comes entirely from the wine itself, no additives required. On the nose, expect strawberry, raspberry, and cherry over rose petal and violet, with herbal spice and orange oil underneath. The palate opens with ripe berry sweetness and a touch of vanilla, before gentian bitterness, clove spice, and pink grapefruit dry things out, finishing long on red berry fruit balanced against herbal, bittersweet complexity. Bottled at 16.5% ABV, Cocchi built this one to be a relaxed aperitivo: top it with soda or sparkling wine and a grapefruit twist, or use it in place of sweet vermouth for a completely different spin on a Manhattan or Negroni.
