Tasting Notes
"This rosso Vermouth di Torino has a dark brown, opaque color and its aroma is fairly bitter with the wormwood taking over. Some pencil shavings and other dried herbs are present as well. Although it is sweet on the tongue, overall it is tangy and bitter and savory--more of an amaro in its profile. "
