What is Cocchi Americano Rosa Aperitivo?
Cocchi Americano Rosa is a vibrant, low-alcohol aperitivo that blends Piedmont red wines with exotic botanicals like ginger and saffron, creating a perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavors. Interestingly, it was featured in the James Bond novel "Diamonds Are Forever" as a key ingredient in the Vesper Martini, replacing the discontinued Kina Lillet.
Why do we love Cocchi Americano Rosa Aperitivo?
Cocchi Americano Rosa stands out for its vibrant blend of Piedmont red wines infused with exotic botanicals like saffron and ginger, creating a uniquely floral and bittersweet aperitivo that's both lower in alcohol and more versatile than traditional vermouths or bitter liqueurs.
How do you drink Cocchi Americano Rosa Aperitivo?
Cocchi Americano Rosa Aperitivo shines as a refreshing aperitif served on the rocks or with a splash of soda, perfect for warm summer evenings, but it also adds a delightful twist to spritz-style cocktails and pairs beautifully with light appetizers like prosciutto and melon or seafood dishes.
Discover some of our favorite recipes.
Nose: Fresh strawberries and ripe grapefruit lead, followed by delicate rose petals and a hint of wild herbs. Light spices like cinnamon and ginger add complexity, while a subtle bitter note reminds you of its aperitivo heritage.
Palate: Crisp and refreshing with a perfect balance of sweet and bitter. Red berry fruits dominate, particularly strawberry and raspberry, complemented by zesty citrus. Herbal notes of gentian and cinchona provide a pleasant bitterness, while floral undertones of rose and violet add elegance. A touch of vanilla smooths out the edges.
Finish: Medium-length and pleasantly dry. The fruit flavors linger, gradually giving way to a gentle bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit pith. A subtle warmth from ginger and white pepper emerges, along with a final whisper of rose, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
Cocchi Americano Rosa is crafted by blending Piedmont red wines with a secret recipe of herbs, fruits, and spices, including rose petals, ginger, and cinchona bark, then fortifying the mixture with alcohol to create a beautifully balanced aperitivo that captures the essence of its Italian terroir.
