Cocchi Americano Aperitivo is a historic Italian classic, first created in 1891 by Giulio Cocchi and still produced today using the original recipe. This iconic aromatised wine sits perfectly between wine and liqueur, offering a refined balance of bitterness, sweetness, and aromatic complexity.
 
Crafted from white wine infused with botanicals, Cocchi Americano features a carefully selected blend of gentian, wormwood, cinchona bark, bitter orange peel, and elderflower, among other herbs and spices. These ingredients are extracted through a cold infusion process before being expertly blended and refined to achieve its signature flavour profile.
 
At 16.5% ABV, this aperitivo delivers a vibrant and refreshing character. Expect a delicate interplay of citrus, floral, and herbal notes, with a distinctive bitter edge that stimulates the palate and makes it a perfect pre-dinner drink.
 
Often considered the original aperitivo of Asti, Cocchi Americano is celebrated for its versatility. It can be enjoyed simply over ice with soda or used as a key ingredient in classic cocktails such as the Vesper Martini, White Negroni, and Corpse Reviver #2.
 
Elegant, refreshing, and steeped in heritage, Cocchi Americano is a must-have for any cocktail enthusiast or aperitivo lover.
