TASTING NOTES: Candied fruit, spices, coriander, incense, lemon essential oil. It is the “winey”, slightly acidic taste of the Vermouth that comes through initially, followed by an interesting fresh, balsamic note which lingers as an aftertaste: citrus fruits and green apple. PRODUCTION NOTES: The wormwood used in the Carpano products is grown in Italy and gathered in unpolluted mountainous areas. One particular ingredient of Carpano Dry is Dittany of Crete: a herbaceous plant from the island of Crete.
