White wine | Italy
Ventus Vermouth Bianco is a delightful and complex aperitif that captures the essence of Italian craftsmanship. Crafted with a blend of carefully selected white grapes, this vermouth is infused with a harmonious bouquet of aromatic herbs, spices, and citrus fruits.
The production process begins with a base of high-quality white wine, chosen for its crisp acidity and subtle fruit notes. A proprietary blend of botanicals, including wormwood (the defining ingredient of vermouth), gentian, coriander, and various citrus peels, is then macerated in the wine. This maceration process allows the wine to extract the aromatic compounds from the herbs and spices, resulting in a rich and layered flavor profile.
The careful balance of sweetness and bitterness is a hallmark of Ventus Vermouth Bianco. The sweetness is derived from the natural sugars in the grapes, while the bitterness comes from the wormwood and gentian. This interplay of flavors creates a refreshing and invigorating experience on the palate.
