Cocchi Americano Rosa

$0

Well now, if summer ever put on a pair of boots and strolled into town with a bouquet of wildflowers and a bottle under her arm, she’d be pourin’ this right here. Cocchi Americano Rosa is a rosy-hued Italian aperitivo that’s equal parts charm and backbone. Made from Brachetto and Malvasia grapes out of Piedmont, it’s infused with a bouquet of botanicals—think gentian, cinchona, citrus zest, ginger, and rose petals—that’ll tickle your nose with berries, blooms, and spice. Take a sip and you’re met with ripe strawberries and vanilla sweetness that gives way to a gentle bitter snap, like pink grapefruit kissed by wild herbs. Smooth as a saloon ballad with a finish that lingers like a sunset over the plains. At 16.5% ABV, it’s mighty fine sipped on the rocks with a twist of grapefruit or gussied up in a cocktail. Pairs real nice with salty bites—especially a hunk of Parmigiano. This one’s a trailblazer for aperitivo hour, cowboy.
