Tasting Notes: The genuine Americano aperitif, Cocchi Americano, has been in production since 1891. It is based on an all-natural recipe containing white wine, sugar, alcohol-infused herbs and spices, especially Artemisia flowers, gentian roots and peels of bitter orange. No artificial colors/additives are admitted. It is made by spicing small batches of wine left to age one year minimum. The classic Americano - the only choice for "purists"- is to be served in a tumbler glass with ice cubes and a slice of orange.
