Made from the same recipe since 1891. Moscato d'Asti is the base with a variety of herbs, fruit and spices with a particular focus on cinchona (bitter bark that makes quinine), gentian and citrus. Try it in your next Vesper or Corpse Reviver #2 or as is done in Italy, serve chilled with ice, a twist of orange peel and a splash of soda to bring out all it its natural aroma and fragrances.
The genuine Americano aperitif, it has been in production since 1891. It is based on an all-natural recipe containing white wine, sugar, alcohol-infused herbs and spices, especially Artemisia flowers, gentian roots and peels of bitter orange. No artificial colors/additives are admitted. It is made by spicing small batches of wine left to age one year minimum. The classic Americano - the only choice for "purists"- is to be served in a tumbler glass with ice cubes and a slice of orange.
