Cælestiale Vermouth
Cælestiale Vermouth
Description: Since 1890 our master distillers have been fortifying the wines of Piedmont with locally sourced botanicals to craft exceptional vermouth. Four generations of family have perfected this sweet balanced style which pays homage to the terroir and the elements that have inspired it. This rosso vermouth has been specifically created for mixing in classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, the Negroni and the Americano. Sipped over ice, it also makes the perfect pre-dinner aperitif.
Tasting notes: A wonderful balance of dried orange peel and Mediterranean herbs set against the body of Italian sweet wine and with a long, earthy finish.
Socially Spirited recommends: Cælestiale Manhattan. Fill a glass with ice and add two measures of American Whiskey (Bourbon for a sweeter style, Rye for a spicier version), one measure of Cælestiale Vermouth and a dash of aromatic bitters. Stir for 30 seconds and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
