This appealing, soft, French gin gives notes of fig, fig leaves, a fruity  sweetness, black pepper and a creamy mouthfeel. It is as attractive on the palate as it's bottle.

Inferno Rosso Vermouth is made with a blend of Dolcetto & Cortese grapes and 27 botanicals. A ruby red color and fruity nose with hints of red berries, cherry and orange, cardamom and a slightly bitter finish. Enjoy it over ice with a twist of orange or try it in your Negroni or Manhattan.

Aromas of strawberry, red cherry, and sage are appealing on the nose. The palate is sweet strawberry and raspberry candy with a light bitterness emerging on the finish. It is fine in texture and wine-like with rhubarb and bright red cherry staying clean and focused with just a hint of dried herb and bramble at the end. This is a good bridge between Aperitivo and Vermouth.
