The original 19th century recipe for the Contratto Vermouth Bianco is based on a unique combination of white wine, Italian brandy and a delicate infusion of more than 50 premium natural herbs, spices, roots and seeds (coriander, chamomile, aloe juice, cinnamon, cardamom, bitter orange, carob tree pods, hibiscus flower, sage, China park, liquorice, etc.). The traditional slow, cold maceration process of extraction results in a sophisticated, well-balanced aperitif with a distinctive bouquet and flavor. This Vermouth is delicious served chilled on its own with a twist of lemon, but is also the perfect ingredient in classic and contemporary mixology, turning any cocktail into something special.
The Vermouth Bianco made from a 19th century recipe is the most elegant of the Contratto Vermouths.

Excellent depth, too, finishing off dry. Made from a white wine base and Italian brandy with an infusion of 50 aromatics including bark of China. RS 190 g/L 18% alc.
