Fred Jerbis Vermut 16 Cherry Cask, Friuli, Italy (750ml)
Producer notes ~ "A fearless vermouth: 16 botanicals from the area and aging in cherry wood barrels to relive nostalgic scents. A red wine, an authentic Friulian Schioppettino, to give peppery notes and an enveloping flavor. Aging in cherry barriques gives this vermouth hints of red fruits and a structured aroma. The color is ruby red with purple hues and the perfume is elegant and full. A simple but refined taste: bitter and savory at first, with a persistent and fruity body and a fresh finish, with herbaceous and licorice hints.."
