VERMOUTH DEL PROFESSORE ROSSO 18° 75CL

Del Professore is one of the only vermouths made 100% from Italian white and red wine, also the additional ingredients are 100% produced in-house. The aim is to honour the authentic Italian aperitif. The recipe draws on Piedmont tradition, including flavoured wine, pure cane sugar and various herbs such as alpine mint, almond, gentian and clove. An ageing period of at least six months in small oak barrels completes it.

Del Professore Rosso meets the nose with a warm and soothing perfume of balsam and mint, balanced with aromas of bitter oils, orange peel and vanilla. Full and soft mouthfeel with a light, pleasant balsamic character, supported by some rhubarb and gentian; balanced by its subtle sweetness and slight tannic structure due to the time this vermouth spent in barrel.

I've known Broekmans since I graduated in 2006 and thanks to Jan I've come to know the passion for spirits.  I dedicate myself every day to the webshop, customer service and all the IT involved.  In my spare time, besides whiskey, I can also really enjoy rum, but just as much as a gin tonic or a simple bellini.  In the words of Martien Meiland, if there's no alcohol in it, don't call me!
