Primitivo Quiles, Vermouth Rojo, Alicante, Spain
RIPE VALENCIA ORANGE, COLA, GINGER, & CLOVE, FRAGRANT & SPICY
This stunning bottle comes to us from Señor Don Primitivo Quiles, whose claim to fame is having the oldest bodega in the region (founded in 1780). Still made in the traditional method, this Monastrell-based vermouth is as hard to forget as it is to find. Boasting a big bouquet of warming spices, it glides over the palate with waves of bittersweet citrus. Still think vermouth is only for cocktails?
Serving Suggestions: Grab a chilled tumbler, pour this over ice, add a twist of lemon, & prepare to have your mind blown. Fantastic in Manhattans, or w/ soda & an orange twist.
