Bordiga Rosso di Torino Vermouth 750ml

Hailing from the Piedmontese Alps, Chiot amaro carries all the refreshingly bracing qualities of the mountains. Ingredients are macerated individually, imparting the ideal amount of extraction from each. Mint and genepy bring cooling qualities, while red licorice, yarrow, and black currant bring balancing sweetness. The resulting amaro is all mountain meadows: floral and herbal on the nose, with satisfying root bitterness in the finish curbed with a kiss of cocoa. 

"A brand new wine in the Lapierre lineup, 'Le Beaujolais' is a selection of declassified Morgon along with fruit from granitic parcels just outside the cru boundaries. Like the domaine’s legendary Morgon, it is whole-cluster fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfiltered with very little sulfur.

While it represents a more easygoing and immediate expression of Gamay meant for earlier drinking, do not mistake it for a petit vin of little consequence: it has easily enough depth and class to fool you into thinking you are drinking a much fancier and more expensive cru Beaujolais. A sort of mini-Morgon, 'Le Beaujolais' is sweetly perfumed of ripe cherries and turned earth, backed by a vibrant freshness and silky, caressing tannins. Best of all, it exhibits the pleasure factor we expect from every bottle bearing the Lapierre label."
