Description
Elena Penna decided to produce their vermouth using the best Piedmontese wines; one-third is comprised of Barolo Ravera Vietti from the Ravera vineyard on the hill of Novello, and the other two-thirds of Roero Arneis, a DOCG of Piemonte which focuses on white wines made from the local grape: Arneis.
A selection of herbs and botanicals macerated in alcohol is added to the base of Barolo and Roero Arneis. Ingredients are preferably sourced from small, sustainable growers or harvesters, often local, family-run businesses who follow the rhythm of the seasons. Choosing these elements is a constant quest for high-quality ingredients with strong links to the area. The main Ingredients are Piedmontese officinal herbs – such as gentian and absinthe – grown or hand-picked in the Alpine areas of Cuneo province: the Maira, Stura and Gesso valleys, where people have always respected the environment and the mountain ecosystem. Equally important is the sourcing of citrus fruit rinds: citron from the traditional botanical gardens of Lake Maggiore, and chinotto from Savona on the Ligurian riviera. Great care is also taken in the selection of non-local flavorings: rhubarb, cloves, and vanilla from Polynesia.
