COCCHI ROSA AMERICANO APERITIVO 375ML

Cocchi Rosa Americano Aperitivo is an Italian aromatized, fortified wine aperitif made by the historic producer Cocchi, based in Piedmont.

It sits in the same family as vermouth and other classic Italian aperitifs, but with a distinctive pink, bittersweet profile built around rose and berry notes.

What it is

1. Type: Aromatized fortified wine (Americano-style aperitivo)
2. Origin: Italy (Piedmont region)
3. Alcohol: ~16–17% ABV
4. Color: Pink / rosé hue
5. Key ingredients: White wine base + botanicals + quinine + rose extracts + citrus + spices

The “Americano” style refers to a category of aperitifs that are less sweet than vermouth and more bitter-aromatic, often with quinine (like tonic water flavor).

3. Citrus: orange peel, grapefruit zest
4. Bitter edge: quinine, gentian, herbal roots
5. Slight sweetness balanced by refreshing bitterness

Overall impression: fruity-rosé meets herbal bitter aperitif
