Bordiga Bianco di Torino Vermouth 750ml

Bordiga was started in 1888 by Pietro Bordiga, a bartender in Torino when the city was the epicenter of Italian spirts and cocktail culture. He decided to locate his distillery in the small town of Cuneo because it offered him a strategic position a little over an hour south of Torino, and also close to the Occitan Alps, where he was sourcing his wild botanicals. The climate there, influenced equally by altitude and proximity to the Mediterranean sea, creates herbs that are particularly rich in essential oils and aromas. His greatgrandson, also named Pietro Bordiga, still lives above the distillery.              The Bianco Vermouth was Pietro’s first recipe, created in 1888, and is still in use today. Tremendously versatile in cocktails, it can modify any style of drink and pairs with spirits from gin to whiskey to calvados. Citrus, baking spice and floral elements define the palate. As with all Bordiga vermouths, freshness and acidity set it apart from others in the category, allowing the botanicals to shine.
