Hotel Starlino Rosso is a rich and aromatic Vermouth di Torino crafted near Turin using a blend of Trebbiano and Marsala wines, infused with botanicals including bitter orange, wormwood, vanilla, ginger and clove. The vermouth is then aged for six months in Kentucky bourbon barrels, an unusual finishing process that adds warmth, vanilla, subtle caramel and spice while giving the wine-based aperitivo its distinctive richness and depth. Smooth, velvety and bittersweet, with layers of dried fruit, orange, vanilla and warm spice. Excellent served over ice with an orange twist, or as a richer base for classic Negronis and Manhattans.

Falstaff
Well balanced aromas with savoury herbal notes, a touch of pistachio and a hint of orange peel. Good sweetness with well balanced acidity and spiciness on the mid palate, a long finish with a citrusy base note.
