Production notes

This fine fortified wine is aromatized according to an ancient recipe of 33 botanicals blended with select white wines. The result is a well-balanced spice and herbal flavor with a pleasantly bitter mouthfeel. Rosso Antico’s wonderfully refreshing taste makes it ideal for enjoying in a wide range of classic cocktails as well as in the traditional style – straight or over ice and garnished with a slice of orange.

Tasting notes

Particularly rich and well-balanced. A so initial sweetness with a pleasant level of acidity due to the wine, which fills the mouth and leaves space for a mild yet persistent bitter aertaste. The flavor repeats the same aromatic sensations perceived by the nose featuring a strong floral after-scent created by the iris and the grassy hints of wormwood.
