Poli Distillerie Gran Bassano Vermouth Rosso, crafted in Bassano del Grappa, Veneto, is an artisanal vermouth blending Merlot wine with over thirty botanicals from the Venetian Alps and Adriatic coast. Deep ruby in hue, it opens with aromas of dried herbs, bitter orange, and warm spice. The palate is richly textured yet balanced, offering layers of red fruit, rhubarb, and aromatic roots, lifted by a gentle bitterness and savoury mineral edge. Smooth and complex, it finishes long and harmonious. Highly regarded by critics, this refined vermouth is superb neat, over ice, or as the backbone of an elegant cocktail.
