Giulio Cocchi Rosa Americano Aperitivo

A wonderfully fragrant and seductive aperitif with aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries and ripe cherries, together with rose petals, pink grapefruit and blood orange. Hints of vanilla, ginger and dried flowers add another dimension. Medium-bodied and silky, with juicy red berry fruit at the center and a lovely vinous quality underneath. The palate starts gently sweet with raspberry, cherry and candied citrus before the bitterness gradually emerges, bringing gentian, quinine and grapefruit pith. Subtle ginger spice and vanilla round the middle without obscuring the freshness. The finish turns increasingly dry and floral, with rose, bitter orange, red berries and a lingering herbal bite. Beautiful tension between juicy fruit, florals and bitterness. Stylish, refreshing and remarkably versatile. Drink over ice with soda and grapefruit peel.
