Del Professore's Chinato Vermouth is a relatively new addition to the brand's portfolio, but it quickly gained recognition for its unique flavor profile and high quality. Inspired by the classic Chinato style of vermouth, this Italian spirit pays homage to the rich history of vermouth-making.
The production of Chinato Vermouth begins with a base wine, typically a blend of Piedmontese wines fortified with neutral spirits. This base is then infused with a carefully selected blend of botanicals, including the distinctive ingredient cinchona bark. Cinchona bark, known for its bitter and medicinal properties, imparts a complex and slightly medicinal flavor to the vermouth. Other botanicals, such as herbs, spices, and citrus peel, are added to the blend, contributing to the overall flavor profile.
Once the infusion process is complete, the vermouth is aged in oak barrels, developing additional complexity and depth. Depending on the desired flavor profile, this aging process can last several months or even years. The final product is a rich and complex vermouth with a balance of sweetness, bitterness, and aromatic notes.
Del Professore's Chinato Vermouth is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in various ways. It can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or used as a key ingredient in cocktails. Its unique flavor profile makes it a perfect choice for those who enjoy bold and complex spirits.
